B2: CHECK CIRCUIT SBF01A (RD) FOR VOLTAGE DROP

Ignition switch in position III.

1

Measure the voltage between starter motor
solenoid C1DC35-A-1 circuit SBF01A (RD),

component side and the battery positive terminal.

2

Is the voltage less than 2 volts?
Yes

CLEAN and TIGHTEN all battery positive cable
connections. TEST the system for normal operation.
If the concern persists, INSTALL a new starter
motor.

If the concern persists, INSTALL a new battery to
starter motor solenoid cable. TEST the system for
normal operation.

B3: CHECK THE STARTER RELAY CONTACT CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE

Disconnect Starter Relay R1.

1

Measure the voltage between the BJB starter relay
R1 connector pin 3 and ground.

2

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes

GO to B4

.

No

INSTALL a new BJB. TEST the system for normal
operation.

B4: CHECK CIRCUIT CDC35 (BU/WH) FOR CONTINUITY

Ignition switch in position 0.

1

Measure the resistance between the BJB starter
relay R1 connector pin 5 and the starter motor

solenoid C1DC35-B pin 1, circuit CDC35B (BU/WH).

2

Is the resistance less than 1 ohm?
Yes

INSTALL a new starter relay. TEST the system for
normal operation. If the concern persists, INSTALL
a new BJB. TEST the system for correct operation.

No

REPAIR circuit CDC35A (BU/WH) or circuit CDC35B
(BU/WH) as necessary. TEST the system for correct
operation.

PINPOINT TEST C : THE ENGINE CRANKS SLOWLY
