Note: Before starter motor test, you must perform battery load test ( see
the Battery Load Test section ). Only if the battery proves good in the
load test can you proceed to the starter motor test. Note the load voltage
obtained in the load test.
ENGINE MUST BE AT NORMAL OPERATING
TEMPERATURE.
1. Turn off the vehicle's engine, accessories and battery test
equipment.
2. Connect the black clamp of the tester to the negative terminal of the
vehicle battery, and the red clamp of the tester to the positive terminal
of the vehicle battery. Ensure the connections are good.
3. Apply the load voltage obtained in the load test to the Starter Test
Table.
For engines with less than 300 inches of cubic displacement (CID), use
the next lower minimum cranking voltage; for example, if the load voltage
is 11V, use 10.3V as mimimum cranking voltage.
Load Voltage
Min Cranking Voltage 9.7V 10.0V 10.3V 10.6V 10.9V 11.2V 11.4V 11.6V
4. Disable the ignition system so the car will not start.
5. Crank the engine and note the voltage reading on the display during
cranking.
6. If cranking voltage obtained in step 5 is below the minimum cranking
voltage of this engine, the starter current draw is excessive. A
displayed voltage of less than 9V indicates excessive current
draw, which may damage the battery. Excessive current draw in this
situation may be caused by bad connection, failing starter motor or
the battery is insufficient for the vehicle's requirements.
NOTE
1. If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty, clean them with a
solution of water and baking soda before attaching the clamps.
