PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
PrecautionsADS000K2
CAUTION:
Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand symptoms well. Perform correct and system-
atic operations.
Check for the correct installation status prior removal or disassembly. When matching marks are
required, be sure they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.
Carry out an overhaul in a clean work place, Using a dust proof room is recommended.
Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the
exterior the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and abnormal wear. If a
malfunction is detected, replace it with a new one.
Normally replace lock pins, oil seals, and bearings with new ones every times they are removed.
In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to out-
side. If tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.
Be careful not to damage the sliding surfaces and mating surface.
When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any mois-
ture, oil, and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.
Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent entering of lint.
During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and new differential gear oil, Vaseline,
or multi-purpose grease, as specified for each vehicle, when necessary.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2
Check “S” Connector Circuit
1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR STARTER MOTOR “S” CONNECTOR
1. Remove fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is released.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Disconnect starter motor S connector.
5. Check voltage between starter motor harness connector E312
*1
or F33*2 terminal 1 (B) and ground using a digital circuit tester.
NOTE:
*1: VK45DE, *2: VQ35DE
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check the following.
40A fusible link (letter F , located in fuse and fusible
link box)
Ignition switch
Starter relay [within the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)].
Harness for open or short
2. CHECK “S” TERMINAL CONNECTION (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect starter motor S connector.
3. Check voltage between starter motor harness connector E312
*1
or F33*2 terminal 1 (B) and battery positive terminal using a dig-
ital circuit tester.
NOTE:
*1: VK45DE, *2: VQ35DE
OK or NG
OK >> Starter motor “S” connector circuit is OK. Further inspec-
tion necessary. Refer to SC-14, "
WORK FLOW" .
NG >> Check harness between the battery and the starter motor “S” connector for poor continuity.

Inspection After Disassembly AKS0079H
PINION/CLUTCH CHECK
1. Inspect pinion teeth.
Replace pinion if teeth are worn or damaged. (Also check condition of ring gear teeth.)
2. Inspect reduction gear teeth.
Replace reduction gear if teeth are worn or damaged. (Also check condition of armature shaft gear
teeth.)
3. Check to see if pinion locks in one direction and rotates smoothly in the opposite direction.
If it locks or rotates in both directions, or unusual resistance is evident, replace.

CAN Communication System DescriptionAIS003MN
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

Can Communication Inspection Using CONSULT-II (Self-diagnosis)AIS002XL
1. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT CHECK
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
1. Connect to CONSULT-II, and select “AUTO DRIVE POS.” on the “SELECT DAIAG SYSTEM” screen.
2. Select “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” on “SELECT DISG MODE” screen.
3. Check display content in self-diagnostic results.
