STR-6 < BASIC INSPECTION > DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW NOTE: To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter motor and generator test segments must be done as a set from start to finish. 1. DIAGNOSIS WITH MULTITASKING BATTERY DIAGNOSTIC STATION Perform the starting system test with multitasking battery diagnostic station. For details and operating instruc- tions, refer to diagnostic station instruction manual. CRANKING NORMAL>>GO TO 2. LOW VOLTAGE>>GO TO 5. CHARGE BATTERY>>Perform the slow battery charging procedure. (Initial rate of charge is 10A for 12 hours.) Perform battery test again. Refer to diagnostic station instruction manual. REPLACE BATTERY>>Before replacing battery, clean the battery cable clamps and battery posts. Perform battery test again. Refer to diagnostic station instruction manual. If second test result is “REPLACE BATTERY”, then do so. Perform battery test again to confirm repair. 2. CRANKING CHECK Check that the starter motor operates properly. YES >> GO TO 3. NO >> GO TO 4. 3. ENGINE START CHECK Check that the engine starts. YES >> Starter motor is OK. Inspection End. NO >> Perform further diagnosis of engine mechanical or engine control system. Refer to EM and EC sections. Once resolved, perform battery test again. 4. STARTER MOTOR ACTIVATION Check that the starter motor operates. YES >> Check ring gear and starter motor drive pinion. Once resolved, perform battery test again. NO >> GO TO 7. 5. COMPARISON BETWEEN ENGINE COOLANT AND CRANKING VOLTAGE Compare the engine coolant temperature and verify the cranking voltage is within specification. Minimum Specification of Cranking Voltage Referencing Coolant Temperature Is the voltage less than the specified value? YES >> GO TO 7. NO >> GO TO 6. 6. STARTER OPERATION Check the starter operation. YES >> Starter motor is OK. Inspection End. NO >> GO TO 7. 7. “B” TERMINAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION Check “B” terminal circuit. Refer to . Is “B” terminal circuit normal? Engine coolant temperature [ °C (°F)] Voltage [V] −30 to −20 (−22 to −4) 8.6 −19 to −10 (−2 to 14) 9.1 −9 to 0 (16 to 32) 9.5 More than 1 (More than 34) 9.9 |
