Trouble Diagnoses with Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester

EKS006UR

NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and generator test segments must be done
as a set from start to finish.

1.

Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system.

2.

Perform battery test with Battery/Starting/Charging system
tester. Refer to 

SC-6, "Trouble Diagnoses with Battery/Starting/

Charging System Tester"

 .

3.

Press “ENTER” to begin the starting system test.

4.

Start the engine.

5.

Diagnosis result is displayed on the tester. Refer to 

SC-8,

"DIAGNOSTIC RESULT ITEM CHART"

 .

NOTE:

●

If the starter performs normally but the engine does not start,
perform engine diagnosis.

●

For intermittent “NO CRANK” or “NO STARTER OPERA-
TION” incidents, refer to 

SC-21, "DIAGNOSTIC PROCE-

DURE 2"

 .

Service procedure

CRANKING VOLTAGE NORMAL

Go to 

SC-18, "WORK FLOW"

 .

CRANKING VOLTAGE LOW

Go to 

SC-18, "WORK FLOW"

 .

CHARGE BATTERY

Perform the slow battery charging procedure. (Initial rate of charge is 10A for 12 hours.) Per-
form battery test again with Battery/Starting/Charging system tester. Refer to 

SC-17, "Trouble 

Diagnoses with Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester"

 .

REPLACE BATTERY

Before replacing battery, clean the battery cable clamps and battery posts. Perform battery 
test again with Battery/Starting/Charging system tester. Refer to 

SC-17, "Trouble Diagnoses 

with Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester"

 . If second test result is “REPLACE BAT-

TERY”, then do so. Perform battery test again to confirm repair.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 1
Check “B” Terminal Circuit

1. 

CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR STARTER MOTOR “B” TERMINAL

1.

Remove the fuel pump fuse.

2.

Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is released.

3.

Turn the ignition switch OFF.

4.

Check that the starter motor terminal “B” [E210, (B/Y) for KA24DE models or E203, (B/L) for VG33E and
VG33ER models] connection is clean and tight.

5.

Check voltage between starter motor terminal “B” [E210, (B/Y) for KA24DE models or E203, (B/L) for
VG33E and VG33ER models] and ground using a digital circuit tester.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 2.

NG

>> Check harness between the battery and the starter motor for open circuit.

2. 

CHECK BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION QUALITY (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)

1.

Check voltage between starter motor terminal “B” [E210, (B/Y) for KA24DE models or E203, (B/L) for
VG33E and VG33ER models] and battery positive terminal using a digital circuit tester.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 3.

NG

>> Check harness between the battery and the starter motor for poor continuity.
