NOTE:
Perform SOLENOID CIRCUIT TEST before testing starter relay and starter relay circuit. Ensure A/T is in Park position or M/T is in Neutral position and parking brake is applied.
- Disable vehicle ignition and fuel systems. See DISABLING/ENABLING IGNITION & FUEL SYSTEMS .
- Ensure battery is fully charged. Ensure solenoid connections are not loose or corroded. Remove starter relay from Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to PDC cover for proper relay location. PDC is located in engine compartment.
- Connect a remote starter switch or jumper wire between starter relay socket terminal No. 87 and positive battery post. See Figure or Figure. If engine cranks, solenoid and starter are good. Go to STARTER RELAY TEST .
- If engine fails to crank, or if solenoid chatters, check wiring and connectors from starter relay socket to starter solenoid terminal. Repair any loose or corroded connections. If engine still fails to crank, remove starter and proceed to SOLENOID TEST under BENCH TESTING.
