Malfunctioning
Circuit Description
The battery cable supplies a constant connection from the battery to starter solenoid connector P – 4.
W hen the ignition switch is turned to the START position, 12 V is applied to the ECM connector C – 56 pin 31.
For vehicles with 4 speed automatic transmission, when the transmission is in park (P) or neutral (N), the park / neutral
and back-up switch grounds ECM connector C – 56 pin 32.
The ECM provides a ground for the start relay, ECM connector C – 56 pin 35 to start relay connector X – 13 pin 5.
W hen activated the start relay provides 12 V to starter solenoid connector P – 3 pin 1.
The solenoid closes its switch contacts to connect the battery voltage at the solenoid switch terminal P – 4 terminal B to
the DC motor. The pull-in winding of the solenoid switch is grounded through the DC motor winding and brushes. The
hold-in winding is grounded through the solenoid casing. The DC motor is grounded through the starter motor casing.
Refer to 2.4 W iring Diagram to aid in diagnosis.
Diagnostic Table Notes
Reference to following information will assist when diagnosing starting circuit faults:
1 If the battery, starter motor and fuel system are deemed as serviceable and a ‘no crank’ and / or ‘no start’ condition exists, refer to the following Sections as required:
a 11A Immobiliser for theft deterrent engine crank inhibitor related faults
b 6C1-2 Engine Management V6 Diagnostics, for starter relay circuit faults

3 Minor Service Operations
3.1 Safety Precautions
Observe the following precautions. Failure to observe these precautions can result in serious damage to components.
• Refer to 1.1 W ARNING, CAUTION and NOTES in this Service Information before disconnecting the battery.
• Use the starter motor on a negative ground system only.
• W hen installing a battery, attach the positive (+) cable to the battery first. Then attach the negative cable.
• W hen using a slave battery for starting purposes, ensure that both batteries are connected in parallel, that is.
positive to positive terminals and negative to negative terminals.
• Only use jumper leads that have surge protection.
3.2 Maintenance
Regular Checks
Check the following at regular intervals:
• Starter motor terminals – for corrosion and loose connectors.
• W iring – for damaged insulation.
• Mounting bolts – for tightness.
• Battery terminals – for clean and secure connections.
3.3 On-Vehicle Testing
NOTE
The battery must be fully charged and in
serviceable condition before beginning these
tests, refer to 8A Electrical Body and Chassis.

Engine Compartment Relay And Fuse Panel
Figure 6D1-2 – 4
1 Remove fuses SBF5 and SBF9 from the engine compartment fuse panel to disable the ignition and prevent the engine from starting, refer to 8A Electrical Body and Chassis.
2 Chock the wheels.
3 For vehicles fitted with automatic transmission ensure the transmission is in P (park) or N (neutral) and the hand brake is applied.
4 Ensure the engine is at room temperature or normal operating temperature and in good working order.
Bad Connection Test
A bad connection appears as a voltage reading when the multimeter leads are connected to two different positive (or
negative) connections.
1 Using a multimeter set to measure voltage, connect the multimeter’s positive lead to the positive battery post.
2 Connect the multimeter’s negative lead to the starter motor M terminal.
3 Record the voltage that displayed during cranking.
4 Repeat this with the multimeter’s negative lead connected to the solenoid switch connector P – 4 pin B (circuit 1).
5 Also repeat this connecting the multimeter’s negative lead to the battery cable strands.
6 Restore all connections that show a significant resistance (voltage reading).
