Ignition off.
For vehicles with automatic transmission:
The gear selector shall be in position P or N.
For vehicles with manual transmission:
The gear lever shall be in neutral position.
Parking brake applied.
Maintain the short-circuit between relay socket #3 (30) with #5 (87).

Check that there is power supply to the starter motor #6/25:2 (#A1).

Check that the voltage is approximately battery voltage.

If there is no voltage supply to the starter motor terminal #6/25:2 (#A1):
- Check fuses.
- Check the cable between connector 64/90 and starter motor #6/25:2 (#A1) for short-circuit to ground and open circuit.
- Check the connector to the starter motor terminal #6/25:2 (#A1). Check for contact resistance and damage to pins and connections.
Check that there is a power supply to the starter motor terminal #6/25:1 (#B1).

Check that the voltage is approximately battery voltage.

If there is no voltage supply to the starter motor terminal #6/25:1 (#B1):
- Check fuses.
- Check the voltage feed cable between the battery and starter motor #6/25:1 (#B1) for short-circuit to ground and open circuit.
- Check the connector to the starter motor terminal #6/25:1 (#B1). Check for contact resistance and damage to connections.
Remedy as necessary.
