STARTING SYSTEM SERVICE
STARTING SYSTEM OPERATION
OVERVIEW
Starter solenoid control is via an external relay controlled
by the ECU. The ECU uses “smart-start” technology
which operates independent of the driver turning the
ignition key. Once the ignition key is switched to the ON
position, the engine can be started. Turning the ignition
key to START signals the ECU to energize the starter
relay and start the engine. The starter is de-energized
once the engine speed reaches a set RPM.
VOLTAGE DROP TEST
The Voltage Drop Test is used to test for bad
connections. When performing the test, you are testing
the amount of voltage drop through the connection. A
poor or corroded connection will appear as a high
voltage reading. Voltage shown on the meter when
testing connections should not exceed 0.1 VDC per
connection or component.
To perform the test, place the meter on DC volts and
place the meter leads across the connection to be tested.
Refer to the voltage drop tests on the starter system in
this chapter.
Voltage should not exceed 0.1 volts per connection
