Starter Ground Circuit Test
NOTE:
Make all voltmeter connections at component terminal not at cable or wire end.
- Disconnect inertia fuel shutoff switch located at left rear corner of luggage compartment, on trim support. Connect remote starter switch between starter solenoid terminal "S" (Yellow/Light Blue wire) and positive battery post. See Fig 1 . Go to next step.
- Using a DVOM set at lowest voltage scale, connect positive lead to starter housing, and negative lead to negative battery post. See Fig 1 . Go to next step.
- Engage remote starter switch while observing DVOM. If .2 volt or less exists, circuit is okay. If more than .2 volt exists, clean negative cable connections at battery and engine. Go to next step.
- Engage remote starter switch while observing DVOM. If voltage drop is still excessive, repair or replace negative battery cable and/or engine ground cable as necessary. Repeat starter circuit test after repair to ensure problem has been corrected. If voltage drop is not still excessive, go to next step.
- If battery and cables test okay and starter motor still cranks slowly or not at all, replace starter motor.
