or wiring that may be loose or damaged. • Refer to Engine Troubleshooting.
• If wiring issues are found, repair as necessary.
Refer to wiring diagrams if needed.
• Check battery ground. Follow Negative (-) Cable
from battery to chassis and make sure connection
is clean and tight.
4. Check connections at starter and starter solenoid.
Refer to Electrical Chapter.
• Make sure connections are clean and tight. If not
repair before further diagnosis.
• Check Positive (+) terminals at starter and solenoid
for available voltage using DMM. Readings should
be ~12.6 V
• With battery disconnected check cables for high
resistance. Reading should be less than 1 Ohm. If
resistance is higher than specification replace
wiring.
• Reconnect battery and perform voltage drop test
on wiring to starter and to starter solenoid. Concern
may still be caused by high resistance in wires
even if resistance is within specification when
disconnected.
• If voltage drop test fails, continue testing to isolate
component that will require replacement (starter /
starter solenoid / wiring). Acceptable voltage drop
during cranking is 0.1 V per connection.
5. Check Brake Switch operation.
