DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter motor and alternator test segments must be
done as a set from start to finish.
1.DIAGNOSIS WITH STARTING/CHARGING SYSTEM TESTER
Perform the starting system test with Starting/Charging System Tester (J-44373). For details and operating
instructions, refer to Technical Service Bulletin.
Te s t r e s u l t
CRANKING VOLTAGE NORMAL>>GO TO 2
CRANKING VOLTAGE LOW>>GO TO 5
CHARGE BATTERY>>Perform the slow battery charging procedure. (Initial rate of charge is 10A for 12
hours.) Perform battery test again. Refer to Technical Service Bulletin.
REPLACE BATTERY>>Before replacing battery, clean t he battery cable clamps and battery posts. Perform
battery test again. Refer to Technical Service Bulletin. If second test result is “REPLACE BAT-
TERY”, then do so. Perform battery test again to confirm repair.
2.CRANKING CHECK
Check that the starter motor operates properly.
Does the engine crank normally?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> GO TO 4
3.ENGINE START CHECK
Check that the engine starts.
Does the engine start?
YES >> Starter motor is OK. Inspection end.
NO >> Perform further diagnosis of engine mechanical or engine control system. Refer to EM and EC sections. Once resolved, perform battery test again.
4.STARTER MOTOR ACTIVATION
Check that the starter motor operates.
Does the starter motor turn?
YES >> Check ring gear and starter motor drive pinion. Once resolved, perform battery test again.
NO >> GO TO 7
5.COMPARISON BETWEEN ENGINE COOLANT AND CRANKING VOLTAGE
Compare the engine coolant temperature and verify the cranking voltage is within specification.
Minimum Specification of Cranking Voltage Referencing Coolant Temperature
Is the voltage less than the specified value?
YES >> GO TO 7
NO >> GO TO 6
6.STARTER OPERATION
Check the starter operation.
Does the starter motor turn smoothly?
YES >> Starter motor is OK. Inspection end.
NO >> GO TO 7
7.“B” TERMINAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Check “B” terminal circuit. Refer to STR-10, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is
“B” terminal circuit normal?
Engine coolant temperature [ °C ( °F)] Voltage [V]
− 30 to − 20 (−22 to − 4) 8.6
− 19 to −10 ( −2 to 14) 9.1
− 9 to 0 (16 to 32) 9.5
More than 1 (More than 34) 9.9

YES >> GO TO 9
NO >> Repair as needed.
9.ENGINE ROTATION STATUS
Check that the engine can be rotated by hand.
Does the engine turn freely by hand?
YES >> Replace starter motor.
NO >> Perform further diagnosis of engine mechanical or powertrain mechanism. Refer to EM or TM
sections. Once resolved, perform battery test again. Refer to Technical Service Bulletin.

System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001696225
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.

Component part
Description
TCM TCM supplies power to the starter relay inside the IPDM E/R
when the selector lever is shifted to the P or N position.
BCM BCM sends a starter request signal to the CPU of the IPDM E/R
over the CAN communication lines.
IPDM E/R CPU inside IPDM E/R operates the starter relay at the request of
the BCM over the CAN communication lines.
Starter motor The starter motor plunger closes and the motor is supplied with
battery power, which in turn cranks the engine, when the “S” ter-
minal is supplied with electric power.

B TERMINAL CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001696228
Terminal "2" (B) is constantly supplied with battery power.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000001696229
CAUTION:
Perform diagnosis under the condition that the 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 depleted.
1.CHECK TERMINAL 2 POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Make sure that starter motor connector F27 terminal 2 connection is clean and tight.
3. Check voltage between starter motor connector F27 terminal 2
and ground.
Is there battery voltage present?
YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> Check harness between battery and starter motor for open circuit.
2.CHECK BATTERY CABLE (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Shift the transmission into park or neutral.
2. Check voltage between battery positive terminal and starter motor connector F27 terminal 2 while cranking the engine.
Is the voltage drop less than 0.2V?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> Check harness between the battery and the starter motor for high resistance.
3.CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT STATUS (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
Check voltage between starter motor case and battery negative ter-
minal while cranking the engine.
Is the voltage drop less than 0.2V?
YES >> Terminal 2 circuit is OK. Further inspection necessary. Refer to STR-5, "
Work Flow".
NO >> Check the starter motor case to engine mounting for
high resistance.
