TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
The starter motor does not operate at all.
| WARNING | Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING. |
- Check the starter (coil).
- Check for poor contact at the battery terminals and starter.
- Check the transmission range switch.
The starter motor doesn't stop
- Check the starter (magnetic switch).
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The starting system troubleshooting guide is shown in the following steps.
| WARNING | Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING. |
- STEP 1. Q: Is the battery in good condition? (Refer to «BATTERY CHECK»(ref-592567-S41651524132014011000000) ). YES: Go to Step 2. NO: Charge or replace the battery.
- STEP 2. Disconnect the starter motor S (solenoid) terminal connector. Using a jumper wire, apply battery positive voltage to the starter motor S (solenoid) terminal. Check the engine condition. OK: Turns normally Q: Does the starter motor operate normally? YES: Check the ignition switch (Refer to «INSPECTION»(ref-592575-S04622262702014011000000) ). Check the starter relay system (2.0L Engine Non-turbo, refer to «INSPECTION PROCEDURE 25: IGNITION SWITCH-ST SYSTEM AND STARTER RELAY SYSTEM < M/T >»(ref-592554-S27547732602014011000000) < M/T >, «INSPECTION PROCEDURE 26: IGNITION SWITCH-ST SYSTEM AND STARTER RELAY SYSTEM < CVT >»(ref-592554-S31533041372014011000000) < CVT >. 2.0L Engine Turbo, refer to «IGNITION SWITCH - ST SYSTEM AND STARTER RELAY SYSTEM»(ref-592555-S30997083942014011000000) 2.4L Engine, refer to «INSPECTION PROCEDURE 25: IGNITION SWITCH-ST SYSTEM AND STARTER RELAY SYSTEM < M/T >»(ref-592556-S20844857762014011000000) < M/T >, «INSPECTION PROCEDURE 26: IGNITION SWITCH-ST SYSTEM AND STARTER RELAY SYSTEM < CVT >»(ref-592556-S41401195592014011000000) < CVT >). Check the transmission range switch. (Refer to «TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH CONTINUITY CHECK»(ref-592573-S18598305882014011000000) ). < CVT > Check the shift lever position. (Refer to «SHIFT LEVER OPERATION CHECK»(ref-592574-S21198826672014011000000) ). < TC-SST > Check the line between the battery and starter motor S (solenoid) terminal. NO: Go to Step 3.
- STEP 3. Check the cable between starter B (battery) terminal and battery positive terminal for connection and continuity. Q: Is the starter cable in good condition? YES: Go to Step 4. NO: Repair or replace the cable.
- STEP 4. Check the connection and the continuity of the cable between the starter motor body and the negative battery terminal. Q: Is the ground line in good condition? YES: Go to Step 5. NO: Repair or replace the cable.
- STEP 5. Q: Is the starter motor in good condition? (Refer to «INSPECTION»(ref-592755-S23936085002014011000000) ). YES: Excessive rotational resistance of the engine. NO: Replace the starter motor.
Scheme 2
| Battery voltage | Terminal number to be connected to tester | Continuity test results |
|---|---|---|
| Not applied | 4 - 3 | Open circuit |
| Connect terminal number 2 and battery (+) terminal. Connect terminal number 1 and battery (-) terminal. | Continuity (Less than 2 ohms) |
