Diagnosis Procedure for 12 V 4 kW
Starting Motor
If the starting motor does not crank or cranks slow,
perform the following procedure:
1. Perform a visual check on the starting motor and
the circuit. Record any appropriate observations.
• Ensure that all cables and connections are
clean and tight.
• Ensure that any lead wires are not shorted.
2. Measure the voltage of the battery.
Measure the voltage across the battery posts with
the multimeter when you are cranking the engine
or attempting to crank the engine. Do not measure
the voltage across the cable post clamps.
a. If the voltage is equal to or greater than the
voltage in table 14 , then go to step 3.
b. The battery voltage is less than the voltage in
table 14 . Test the battery. Refer to Systems
Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, “Battery -
Test” for the correct procedure.
Note: Low battery voltage can be caused by the
condition of the battery or a shorted starting motor.
3. Measure the current that is sent to the T31
terminal on the starting motor solenoid from the
positive post of the battery with a suitable
ammeter. The maximum current that flows to the
T31 terminal should be equal to 1000 amp or the
maximum current that flows to the solenoid should
be less than 1000 amp.
If the current is too great, a problem exists in the
starting motor. Replace the starting motor.
Note: If the following conditions exist, do not perform
the test in step 3 because the starting motor has a
problem.
• The voltage at the battery post is within 2 volts
of the lowest value in the applicable
temperature range of table 14 .
• The large starting motor cables get hot.
