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:
Removal - Refitting).

TEST 1 Alternator supply test
NOTESTest the condition of the battery (see 80A, Battery, Test 1 Battery check).
Measure the voltage at the battery terminals with the engine warm and running at idle speed for 2 minutes and
with all consumers switched off.
Voltage value?
Replace the alternator (see MR 370, Mechanical, 16A, Starting -
Charging, Alternator: Removal - Refitting).
Visually inspect the consequences (battery, corrosion, etc.).
With the engine idling, connect a current clamp to the alternator B+ wire, connection code BPDA, with all
consumers switched off.
Current < 5 ACurrent between 5 A and 35
ACurrent > 35 A
Replace the alternator (see
MR 370, Mechanical, 16A,
Starting - Charging,
Alternator: Removal -
Refitting).Keep the engine speed at
3000 rpm and still with no
consumers switched on.Check that there are no
electrical components
consuming an abnormal
amount of current.
Disconnect the fuses one by
one.
Value of measured current?

TEST 2 Test the condition of the power fuse and the cause of its fault
NOTESCheck that the engine is not blocked.
With the ignition off, measure the voltage between the negative battery terminal
and the power fuse output
Is the voltage greater than or equal to 10V?
The power fuse is correct The power fuse is faulty
With the battery disconnected, measure the resistance
between the negative battery terminal and the power fuse
output
Is the resistance
≥ 10 ΩΩ Ω Ω
?
Disconnect the alternator + terminal, then measure
the resistance between the negative battery terminal
and the power fuse outputPossible external causes:
use of a "starter charger", excessively long use of
starter (e.g.: activating the starter with the gear
engaged to move the vehicle) etc.
Is the resistance
≥ 10 Ω?
Replace the alternator (see MR 370, Mechanical, 16A, Starting - Charging,
Alternator: Removal - Refitting).
Check the wiring connecting the alternator and the
starter to the battery + terminal (see TEST 3 Wiring
check).

Repair the damaged wires and terminals.
If the connection is faulty and there is a repair
procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical
wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions for repair),
repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.

TEST 3 Wiring check
NOTESNone.
Check the condition of the battery terminals.
Confirm that there is no corrosion on the battery
terminals.
Check the tightness of the terminals (see MR
370, Mechanical, 80A, Battery, Battery:
Removal - Refitting).
Are the terminals and posts in good condition and
not corroded?Clean the terminals and posts or replace them, if
necessary
Check that there are no electrolyte leaks from the
battery (cracks or breakage).
Check that the mechanical mounting of the
battery is sound (see MR 370, Mechanical, 80A,
Battery, Battery: Removal - Refitting).
Is the battery in good condition?Change the battery and clean the surrounding
area on the vehicle if necessary.
(see MR 370, Mechanical, 80A, Battery,
Battery: Removal - Refitting).
Disable the engine injection (see 13B or 17B,
Interpretation of commands).
With the starter activated, measure the voltage
on connection BPDA between the + terminal of
the battery, component code 107, and the B + of
the starter, component code 163.
Is the voltage > 2 V?Repair the damaged wires and terminals. If the
connection is faulty and there is a repair
procedure (see Technical Note 6015A,
Electrical wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions
for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it

With the engine running and the main beam
headlights and heated rear screen on, measure
the voltage between the battery B+, component
code 107, and the alternator B+, component
code 103.
Is the voltage > 0.7 V?Check that all the wires connecting the battery,
the alternator and the starter are secure and in
good condition, and that all their terminals are
correctly tightened and secure.
Repair the damaged wires and terminals. If the
connection is faulty and there is a repair
procedure (see Technical Note 6015A,
Electrical wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions
for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it
With the engine running and the main beam
headlights and heated rear screen on, measure
the voltage between the negative terminal of the
battery, component code 107, and the alternator
frame, component code 103.
Is the voltage > 0.7 V?Check the earths of the engine, alternator,
chassis, gearbox, battery or starter (tightness,
condition of terminals, condition of wires).
Repair the damaged wires and terminals. If the
connection is faulty and there is a repair
procedure (see Technical Note 6015A,
