Code 12 - Starter Switch

NOTE: Refer to illustration for connector and terminal identification. See Figure -Figure .
  1. If starter motor does not operate, repair as necessary. If starter motor operates, check ECM input signal by measuring voltage between ECM connector E29, terminal No. 12 and ground. If voltage is 13-14 volts, repair ECM connector or replace ECM. If voltage is not 13-14 volts, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECM and starter motor connectors. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between ECM connector E29, terminal No. 12 and starter motor terminal No. 1 (Red/Yellow wire). Zero ohms should be present. Measure resistance between starter motor connector terminal No. 1 (Red/Yellow wire) and ground. Minimum of one megohm should be present.
  3. If resistances are within specification, check the neutral position switch(M/T) or the inhibitor switch (A/T). Refer to the SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article. If resistances are not to specification, repair or replace harness, connector, or terminals.
