Trouble Diagnosis with Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester (Starting)NKS003NK
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and alternator 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-7, "
Trouble Diagnosis with Battery/Starting/
Charging System Tester (Battery)" .
3. Press “ENTER” to begin the starting system test.
4. Start the engine.
5. Diagnostic result is displayed on the tester. Refer to SC-13,
"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, go to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2.

Diagnostic item Service procedure
CRANKING VOLTAGE NORMAL
Go to SC-14, "
WORK FLOW" .
CRANKING VOLTAGE LOW
CHARGE BATTERYPerform the slow battery charging procedure. (Initial rate of charge is 10A for 12 hours.) Perform
battery test again with Battery/Starting/Charging system tester. Refer to SC-7, "
Trouble Diagnosis
with Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester (Battery)" .
REPLACE BATTERYBefore replacing battery, clean the battery cable clamps and battery posts. Perform battery test
again with Battery/Starting/Charging system tester. Refer to SC-7, "
Trouble Diagnosis with Bat-
tery/Starting/Charging System Tester (Battery)" . If second test result is “REPLACE BATTERY”,
then do so. Perform battery test again to confirm repair.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 1
Check “B” Terminal Circuit
CAUTION:
Perform diagnosis under the condition that engine cannot start by the following procedure.
1. Remove fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is released.
1. CHECK “B” TERMINAL CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Make sure that starter motor “B” terminal connection is clean
and tight.
3. Check voltage between starter motor “B” terminal and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check harness between battery and starter motor for open circuit.
2. CHECK BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION STATUS (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
Check voltage between starter motor battery positive terminal and
starter motor “B” terminal.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Check harness between the battery and the starter motor for poor continuity.
3. CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT STATUS (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
Check voltage between starter motor case and battery negative ter-
minal.
OK or NG
OK >> “B” terminal circuit is OK. Further inspection necessary.
Refer to SC-14, "
WORK FLOW" .
NG >> Check the starter motor case and ground for poor conti-
nuity.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2
Check “S” Connector Circuit
CAUTION:
Perform diagnosis under the condition that engine cannot start by the following procedure.
1. Remove fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is released.
1. CHECK “S” CONNECTOR CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect starter motor connector.
3. Check voltage between starter motor harness connector and
ground.
OK or NG
OK >> “S” connector circuit is OK. Further inspection necessary. Refer to SC-14, "WORK FLOW" .
