Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the C1 battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.0-15.0 V.
- Remove the drive belts. Refer to Drive Belt Tensioner Replacement
, Drive Belt Replacement
, for the LAF engine, Drive Belt Tensioner Replacement
, or Drive Belt Replacement
for the LFW engine.
- Place the ignition to the CRANK position. verify the engine does not crank normal.
- If the engine cranks normal, inspect the engine and belt drive system for mechanical binding, seized engine, or seized generator, etc.
- Test for less than 0.5 V between the positive battery cable and terminal A X2 at the M64 starter motor as the ignition is placed to the CRANK position.
- If greater than the specified value, replace the positive battery cable.
- Test for less than 0.5 V between the negative battery cable and the M64 starter motor case as the ignition switch is placed to the CRANK position.
- If greater than the specified value, replace the negative battery cable.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the M64 starter motor.
