Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, measure and record the C1 Battery voltage at the terminals.
  2. Verify the measured voltage is between 12-15 V.
    • If voltage is between 12-15V 
  3. Remove the drive belts. Refer to Drive Belt Replacement , for the 1.4L (LUV) engine, Drive Belt Replacement , for the 1.8L (LUW, LWE) engine or Generator, Air Conditioning Compressor and Power Steering Pump Belt Replacement for the 2.0L (LUZ)
  4. Verify the crankshaft rotates rotate the crankshaft by hand using the appropriate tools.
    • If the crankshaft rotates 
  5. Verify the engine does not crank when attempting to start the vehicle.
    • If the engine cranks 

      Inspect the engine and belt drive system for mechanical binding, seized engine or seized generator.

    • If the engine does not crank 
  6. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the M64 Starter Motor B+ terminal 1 X2 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for greater than 100 Ω between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If 100 Ω or less, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If greater than 100 Ω, replace the M64 Starter Motor.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  7. Test for less than 0.5 V between the positive battery cable and M64 Starter Motor B+ terminal 1 X2 with the ignition in the START position.
    • If 0.5 V or greater 

      Replace the positive battery cable.

    • If less than 0.5 V 
  8. Test for less than 0.5 V between the negative battery cable and the M64 Starter Motor case with the ignition in the START position.
    • If 0.5 V or greater 

      Replace the negative battery cable.

    • less than 0.5 V 
  9. Replace the M64 Starter Motor.
