Starting System - Service Information: Overview Dodge Magnum I рестайлинг

DESCRIPTION

Note. Available on automatic transmission equipped vehicles only.

Remote start conveniently starts the engine from outside the vehicle by using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) key fob while maintaining security. The system has a targeted range of 300 ft. (91.4 m). The vehicle must be locked, the deck lid and hood closed and the transmission in Park in order to start the engine using the Remote Start button on the key fob.

The starting system consists of

1. Starter relay
2. Starter motor (including an integral starter solenoid)

Other components to be considered as part of starting system are

1. Battery
2. Battery cables
3. Ignition switch and key lock cylinder
4. Clutch pedal position switch (manual transmission)
5. Park/neutral position switch (automatic transmission)
6. Wire harnesses and connections.

The Battery, Starting, and Charging systems operate in conjunction with one another, and must be tested as a complete system. For correct operation of starting/charging systems, all components used in these 3 systems must perform within specifications. When attempting to diagnose any of these systems, it is important that you keep their interdependency in mind.

The diagnostic procedures used in each of these articles include the most basic conventional diagnostic methods, to the more sophisticated On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) built into the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Use of an induction-type milliampere ammeter, volt/ohmmeter, battery charger, carbon pile rheostat (load tester), and 12-volt test lamp may be required.

Identification that Remote Start is Activated

To identify that Remote Start has been activated the following will occur

1. Horn will sound and lights will flash to acknowledge a start command was received.
2. Park Lamps will turn on to indicate that the engine is running in remote start mode.

OPERATION
