Note. Make sure the anti-theft system is functioning correctly before carrying out a logical starting system diagnosis. Address anti-theft system concerns before continuing. Refer to ANTI-THEFT - PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) .

1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Remove the accessory drive belt. Refer to «ACCESSORY DRIVE»(ref-494572) . Verify the crankshaft and each of the components driven by the accessory drive belt rotate and are not seized or damaged.
3. Inspect to determine if any of the following mechanical or electrical concerns apply. VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Mechanical Electrical Starter motor Starter motor bolts Flexplate Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) (without Intelligent Access (IA)) IA key (with IA) Battery Battery cables Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 19 (30A) Body Control Module (BCM) fuses: 18 (10A) 28 (15A) Wiring, terminal or connectors Starter relay Loose or corroded connections
4. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
5. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM: check the VCM connection to the vehicle. check the scan tool connection to the VCM. Refer to «MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK»(ref-494551) , No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no power to the scan tool.
7. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle: verify the ignition is in RUN (ON). The air bag warning indicator prove-out (other indicators may NOT prove the ignition is in RUN) confirms the ignition is in RUN. If the ignition does not transition to RUN, refer to «STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES»(ref-494582) to diagnose no power in RUN. verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle. Refer to «MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK»(ref-494551) to diagnose no response from the PCM.
8. Carry out the network test. If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to «MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK»(ref-494551) . If the network test passes, proceed with module self-test diagnostics.
9. Carry out the self-test diagnostics for the BCM, Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module (if equipped), Tire Pressure Monitor Module (TPM) (if equipped), and the PCM.
10. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to «DTC CHARTS»(ref-494580-S02371060072012081400000) .
11. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to «SYMPTOM CHART»(ref-494580-S27592203102012081400000) .

Pinpoint Test G: DTC P2532 And P2535

Refer to OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS - STARTING SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.

Starter Motor - Ground Circuit Test

A slow cranking condition can be caused by resistance in the ground or return portion of the cranking circuit. Check the voltage drop in the ground circuit as follows

Scheme 29

1. Connect a remote starter switch between the starter solenoid "S" terminal and the battery positive (+) terminal.
2. Connect the Fluke 77-IV Digital Multimeter positive lead to the starter motor housing (the connection must be clean and free of rust or grease). Connect the negative lead to the negative (-) battery terminal.
3. Engage the remote starter switch and crank the engine. Read and record the voltage reading. The reading should be 0.5 volt or less.
4. If the voltage drop is greater than 0.5 volt, clean the negative cable connections at the battery, the body ground connections and the starter ground connection. Retest.
5. If the voltage drop is greater than 0.5 volt, install a new cable. If the voltage reading is less than 0.5 volt and the engine still cranks slowly, install a new starter motor.
