Test NS-9C - Repairing No Crank Condition
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Dodge Pickup and 1995 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
For circuit and connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION

section at the end of this article.
- If engine does not crank, go to next step. If engine cranks and vehicle is equipped with manual transmission, replace starter relay. Perform TEST VER-1. If vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission, go to step 6).
- Disconnect jumper wire. Note if starter solenoid clicked when jumper wire was connected. Disconnect starter relay output wire (Brown wire) from starter solenoid. Go to next step.
- Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance of Brown wire between starter relay connector and starter solenoid connector. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Brown wire. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, reinstall starter relay. Check battery cables for high resistance. If either battery circuit had a voltage drop of more than 0.2 volt, repair battery circuit for high resistance. Perform TEST VER-1. If voltage drop for either battery circuit is less than 0.2 volt, go to next step.
- If starter solenoid clicked when jumper wire was connected in step 2), repair starter for a mechanical failure. Perform TEST VER-1. If starter solenoid did not click when jumper wire was connected in step 2), replace starter solenoid. Perform TEST VER-1.
- Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of starter relay connector, Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch sense circuit (Black/White wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace starter relay. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black/White wire. Perform TEST VER-1.
