Circuit Test
- If starter does not operate, check voltage at starter solenoid "S" terminal with ignition switch in START position, transmission in Park or Neutral (A/T) or clutch depressed (M/T). See Fig 1. If battery voltage is present, replace starter. If battery voltage is not present, check ignition switch, transmission range switch (A/T), clutch pedal position switch (M/T) and wiring.
- If starter motor runs and engine does not crank, remove starter for visual inspection and testing. Inspect flywheel and ring gear for damaged or missing teeth.
