Diagnosis Procedure
Terminal S is the power supply for the starter motor magnetic switch. Terminal S is supplied with power when the ignition switch is turned to the START position while the A/T shift selector is in the P or N position.
- Remove fuel pump fuse.
- Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is depleted.
- CHECK STARTER MOTOR MAGNETIC SWITCH CIRCUIT
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect starter motor connector F228 (with Cummins 5.0L), or F44 (with VK56VD).
- Shift transmission into park or neutral.
- Check voltage between starter motor harness connector F228 (with Cummins 5.0L), or F44 (with VK56VD) and ground with the ignition in START.

Battery voltage
Is battery voltage present?
YES
Magnetic switch circuit is OK. Further inspection is necessary. Refer to Work Flow (With DSS-5000P NI) or Work Flow (Without DSS-5000P NI) .
NO
GO TO 2 .
- CHECK CONNECTOR
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Check the IPDM E/R harness connector E120 and starter motor harness connector F228 (with Cummins 5.0L), or F44 (with VK56VD), for damage, bent pins and loose connections.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES
GO TO 3 .
NO
Repair the terminal and connector.
- CHECK HARNESS CONTINUITY (OPEN CIRCUIT)
- Disconnect IPDM E/R connector E120 and starter motor connector F228 (with Cummins 5.0L), or F44 (with VK56VD).
- Check continuity between starter motor harness connector F228 (with Cummins 5.0L), or F44 (with VK56VD), and IPDM E/R harness connector E120.
