8. Press “ENTER”, then test output code is displayed. Record the
test output code on the repair order.
9. Toggle back to the “DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN” for test results.
NOTE:
If necessary, the tester will ask the user to determine if the
battery has just been charged. Choose the appropriate selec-
tion by pressing the up or down arrow button and then press
the “ENTER” button to make the selection.
When testing a battery installed in a vehicle that has recently
been driven, select “BEFORE CHARGE”.
If the battery has just been slow charged due to a “CHARGE
& RETEST” decision by the tester, and the tester asks the user “BEFORE CHARGE/AFTER
CHARGE”, select “AFTER CHARGE”.

GOOD BATTERYBattery is OK. Refer to SC-6, "
Trouble Diagnoses with Battery/Starting/Charging System
Te s t e r" .
REPLACE BATTERYReplace battery.
Before replacing battery, clean the battery cable clamps and battery posts. Perform battery
test again with Battery/Starting/Charging system tester. If second test result is “Replace Bat-
tery”, then do so. Perform battery test again to confirm repair.
BAD CELL-REPLACEReplace the battery. Perform battery test again with Battery/Starting/Charging system tester
to confirm repair.
GOOD-RECHARGEPerform the slow battery charging procedure. (Initial rate of charge is 10A for 12 hours.) Per-
form battery test again with Battery/Starting/Charging system tester.
CHARGE & RETESTPerform the slow battery charging. (Initial rate of charge is 10A for 12 hours.)
Perform battery test again with Battery/Starting/Charging system tester to confirm repair.

STARTING SYSTEMPFP:23300
System DescriptionEKS00B7B
Power is supplied at all times:
through 40A fusible link (letter m , located in the fuse and fusible link box)
to ignition switch terminal B.
With the ignition switch in the START position, power is supplied:
from ignition switch terminal ST
to IPDM E/R terminal 21.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied to IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribu-
tion module engine room) CPU.
With the selector lever in the P or N position, power is supplied:
through A/T assembly terminal 9
to IPDM E/R terminal 48.
Ground is supplied at all times:
to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59
through body grounds E9, E15 and E24.
Then the starter relay is turned on.
The IPDM E/R is energized and power is supplied:
from terminal 19 of the IPDM E/R
to terminal 1 of the starter motor windings.
The starter motor plunger closes and provides a closed circuit between the battery and the starter motor. The
starter motor is grounded to the cylinder block. With power and ground supplied, the starter motor operates.

Trouble Diagnoses with Battery/Starting/Charging System TesterEKS00B7D
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and generator test segments must be done
as a set from start to finish.
1. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system.
2. Perform battery test with Battery/Starting/Charging system
tester. Refer to SC-12, "
Trouble Diagnoses with Battery/Starting/
Charging System Tester" .
3. Press “ENTER” to begin the starting system test.
4. Start the engine.
5. Diagnosis result is displayed on the tester. Refer to SC-12,
"DIAGNOSTIC RESULT ITEM CHART" .
NOTE:
If the starter performs normally but the engine does not start,
perform engine diagnosis.
For intermittent “NO CRANK” or “NO STARTER OPERA-
TION” incidents, refer to SC-15, "
DIAGNOSTIC PROCE-
DURE 2" .

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 1
Check Starter Motor Circuit
1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO STARTER MOTOR
1. Remove the fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is released.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Check that the starter motor connector F27 connection is clean and tight.
5. Check voltage between starter motor connector F27 terminal 2
(B/R) and ground using a digital circuit tester.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check harness between the battery and the starter
motor for open circuit.
2. CHECK VOLTAGE DROP ON STARTER MOTOR CIRCUIT
Check voltage between starter motor connector F27 terminal 2 (B/R)
and battery positive terminal using a digital circuit tester.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Check harness between the battery and the starter
motor for poor continuity.
3. CHECK VOLTAGE DROP ON STARTER MOTOR GROUND CIRCUIT
Check voltage between starter motor case and battery negative ter-
minal using a digital circuit tester.
OK or NG
OK >> Starter motor ground circuit is OK. Further inspection is
necessary. Refer to SC-13, "
WORK FLOW" .
NG >> Check harness between the starter motor case and
ground for poor continuity. Battery voltage should
exist.
