Interpretation of statuses).
Is component 1337 receiving the request?Check for + 12 V after ignition on connection
AP10 of connector CN of component 1337.
Is there 12 V?
Check for 12 V on connection 1A of
connector MM during a request.
Is there 12 V?Supply fault on connection
AP10 of connector CN of
component 1337.
Continuity fault on connection 1A between
components 1337 and 163. If the

NOTESSpecial notes:
Disconnect the battery earth before handling.
Remove the starter (see MR 370, Mechanical, 16A, Starting - Charging, Starter: Removal - Refitting).
Check that the ring gear of the flywheel is in good condition.
Are the ring gear teeth damaged?
Replace the flywheel (see MR 370, Mechanical,
Engine and peripherals, Engine and cylinder
block assembly).
Check the condition of the starter (broken teeth or
worn gears).
Is the starter in good condition?
Replace the starter (see MR 370,
Mechanical, 16A, Starting - Charging,
Starter: Removal - Refitting).
Refit the starter (see MR 370, Mechanical, 16A,

NOTESTest the condition of the battery (see 80A, Battery, Test 1 Battery check).
Check that the noise is actually coming from the starter.
Try to start the engine.
At what point is the noise heard?

Remove the starter and check that the centring pin is
present. Check the condition of the pinion and carry
out a full check of the ring gear.Inhibit the engine injection (see 13B or 17B,
Interpretation of commands), activate the
starter for 2 seconds, and release the key.
Is a fault noticed?
Does the starter continue to run after the key is
released?
Fit a centring pin, or replace the
flywheel (see MR 370,
Mechanical, 10A, Flywheel:
Removal - Refitting), or replace
the starter (see MR 370,
Mechanical, 16A, Starting -
Charging, Starter: Removal -
Refitting).Starter control fault, check the entire starter
control line (see ALP1 The starter does not
work, continued 3 C).
Replace the starter (see MR 370, Mechanical, 16A,
Starting - Charging, Starter: Removal - Refitting).Make several attempts, waiting for 5 minutes
after 5 attempts (let the starter cool). If the result
is still the same after several attempts, replace
the starter (see MR 370, Mechanical, 16A,

ALP 4The starter rotates slowly from the outset.
The rotation speed of the starter decreases rapidly.
The starter causes the warning lights on the instrument panel to
become very dim.
NOTESTest the wiring (TEST3 Wiring check).
Test the condition of the battery (see 80A, Battery, Test 1 Battery check).
If the fault is still present, replace the starter (see MR 370, Mechanical, 16A, Starting - Charging, Starter:

NOTESPerform this test only after running complete fault finding on the Engine compartment
connection unit using the diagnostic tool (see 87G, Engine compartment

Because the Engine compartment connection unit houses the CHARGING CIRCUIT
function (sub-function: alternator) and checks the alternator via a serial connection.

with all consumers switched off.
Voltage value?
Replace the alternator (see MR 370, Mechanical, 16A, Starting -
