DEFINITION: The starter solenoid clicks, but the engine does not crank or cranks slowly.
1 | Inspect the battery . Remove fuse 7 from the relay center. Turn the ignition to START. Crank for 15 seconds and measure the voltage between the battery terminals. Is the voltage more than the specified value? | 8.0 V | Go to Step 2 | Go to Step 3
2 | Measure the voltage between the negative battery terminal and the engine block while cranking for 15 seconds. Is the voltage less than the specified value? | 0.5 V | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 5
3 | Perform the Parasitic Load Test. Refer to Parasitic Load Test. Is the battery OK? | -- | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 7
4 | Measure the voltage between the positive battery terminal and solenoid terminal B while cranking for 15 seconds. Is the voltage less than the specified value? | 0.5 V | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 9
5 | Clean the connections and repeat the test. Replace the negative battery cable if the voltage is still incorrect. Does the engine crank? | -- | System OK | Go to Step 10
6 | Inspect the battery and the starter motor terminals for corrosion or poor contact. Repair o Does the engine crank? | -- | System OK | Go to Step 10
7 | Replace the battery. Refer to Battery Replacement. Does the engine crank? | -- | System OK | Go to Step 10
8 | Repair or replace the starter motor. Refer to Starter Motor Replacement. Does the engine crank? | -- | System OK | Go to Step 10
9 | Clean the connections and repeat the test. Replace the positive battery cable if the voltage is still incorrect. Does the engine crank? | -- | System OK | Go to Step 10
10 | Refer to Section 8A for a complete Engine Electrical system diagnosis. Make repairs as needed. Are the repairs complete? | -- | System OK | --
