Select ALL INJECTORS STOP in the PGM-FI INSPECTION menu with the HDS.
?2.
With the transmission in neutral and with the clutch pedal pressed, turn the vehicle to the START mode to crank the engine.
Did the starter crank the engine?
YES
Do the PCM reset in the PGM-FI mode menu to cancel ALL INJECTORS STOP with the HDS.?
NO
Go to step 3.
3.
Starting system check 2:
Starting system check 2
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
?2.
Check the 12 volt battery condition. Check the electrical connections at the 12 volt battery, the 12 volt battery negative cable to the body, the engine ground cables, and the starter for looseness and corrosion. Then try starting the engine again.
Did the starter crank the engine?
Starter cranks normally
Check for loose connection and repair as needed. Do the PCM reset in the PGM-FI mode menu to cancel ALL INJECTORS STOP with the HDS.?
Starter does not crank engine at all
If the starter does not crank the engine at all, go to step 4.
Starter cranks abnormally
If the starter cranks the engine erratically or too slowly, go to step 5.
Starter overruns
If the starter does not disengage from the flywheel ring gear when you release the button, replace the starter, or remove and disassemble it, and check for the following.?
Dirty drive gear or damaged overrunning clutch
Damaged flywheel ring gear

Determine possible failure area (starter, others):
Determine possible failure area (starter, others)
?1.
Make sure the transmission is in neutral.
?2.
Disconnect the following connector.
Starter S terminal 1P connector
?3.
Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.
Terminal A
Starter S terminal 1P connector (male terminal) No. 1
Terminal B
12 volt battery positive terminal
Did the starter crank the engine?
YES
Check the following items in the order listed until you find the problem in the circuit:?
Blown No. A1-7 (125 A) fuse, No. A2-2 (30 A) fuse, No. A2-4 (60 A) fuse, No. A3-5 (30 A) fuse, No. A8 (10 A) fuse, and No. A18 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box.
Blown No. B21 (10 A) fuse and No. B30 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
Check for an open or short in the wire between the 12 volt battery and the starter.
Check for an open or short in the wire and connectors between the No. A2-2 (30 A) fuse, the IG1A relay circuit, and the body control module.
Check for an open or short in the wire and connectors between the No. A3-5 (30 A) fuse and the relay circuit board.
Check for an open or short in the wire and connectors between the No. A8 (10 A) fuse, the brake pedal position switch, the body control module, and the PCM.
Check for an open or short in the wire and connectors between No. B21 (10 A) fuse and the relay circuit board.
Check for an open or short in the wire and connectors between No. B21 (10 A) fuse, the brake pedal position switch, and the PCM.
Check for an open or short in the wire and connectors between the relay circuit board and the starter.
Check for an open or short in the wire and connectors between the relay circuit board and PCM.
Check for an open or short in the wire and connectors between the body control module and the PCM (STS line).
Check for an open or short in the wire and connectors between the PCM, the body control module, clutch pedal position switch A, and ground (G302).
NO
Check for an open or short in the wire and connectors between the 12 volt battery and the starter. Replace the starter, or remove and disassemble it, as necessary.?

Starter test:
Starter test
?1.
Connect the alternator, regulator, battery, and starter tester to the 12 volt battery.
?2.
Do the STARTING TEST, check the cranking voltage and the current draw from the following service limit table.
Voltage (V)
Current (A)
8.5 or more
380 or less
Are the cranking voltage and the current draw within the service limits?
YES
Remove the starter, and inspect its pinion gear and the flywheel ring gear for damage. Replace any damaged parts.?
