Test NS-9A - Repairing No Crank Condition
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Eagle Vision, 1994 Dodge Intrepid, 1994 Chrysler New Yorker, 1994 Chrysler LHS, and 1994 Chrysler Concorde. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ensure transmission is in Park position. Using DRB, read park/neutral position switch sense. If DRB does not display PARK, repair open Black/Dark Green wire. If DRB displays PARK, go to next step.
- Remove starter relay. Using DRB in voltmeter mode, check voltage on starter relay connector terminal "B" (Red wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Red wire. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.
- Check voltage on starter relay connector terminal "A" (Yellow wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Yellow wire. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.WARNING: Engine may crank in following step. Keep away from moving engine parts.
- Ensure transmission is in Park position and parking brake is set. Briefly connect a jumper wire between starter relay connector terminals "B" (Red wire) and "D" (Light Green wire). If starter motor cranks, replace starter relay. If starter motor does not crank, and solenoid does not click, replace starter solenoid. If starter motor does not crank and solenoid clicks, go to next step.
- Disconnect jumper wire. Disconnect starter solenoid connector (Light Green wire). Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance of Light Green wire between starter solenoid connector terminal No. 1 and starter relay connector terminal "D". If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Light Green wire. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
- Reinstall starter relay. Check battery cables. Repair cables as necessary. If cables are okay, repair starter motor as necessary.
