CAUTION:
Perform diagnosis under the condition that the engine cannot start by the following procedure:
Remove fuel pump fuse.
Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is depleted.
CHECK TERMINAL B POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE
Ignition switch OFF.
Make sure that starter motor connector connection is clean and tight.
Check voltage between starter motor connector and ground.
| (+) | (—) |
Voltage (Approx.) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter motor | |||
| Connector | Terminal | ||
| F27 | B | Ground | Battery voltage |
Is the inspection result normal?
YES>>GO TO 2.
NO>>Check harness between battery and starter motor for open circuit.
CHECK BATTERY CABLE (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
Shift the transmission into P (Park) or N (Neutral).
Check voltage between battery positive terminal and starter motor connector while cranking the engine.
| (+) | (—) | Condition |
Voltage (Approx.) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter motor | ||||
| Connector | Terminal | |||
| Battery (+) terminal | F27 | B | While cranking the engine | Less than 0.5 V |
Is the inspection result normal?
YES>>GO TO 3.
NO>>Check harness between the battery and the starter motor for high resistance.
CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT STATUS (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
Check voltage between starter motor case and battery negative terminal while cranking the engine.
| (+) | (—) | Condition |
Voltage (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter motor case | Battery (—) terminal | While cranking the engine | Less than 0.5 V |
Is the inspection result normal?
YES>>Terminal B circuit is OK. Further inspection is necessary. Refer to Work Flow (With 165-DSS-5000P), or Work Flow (Without 165-DSS-5000P).
NO>>Check the starter motor case to engine mounting for high resistance.
S Terminal Circuit
The gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
