BHE010300103W05

3 | WILL NOT CRANK
--- | ---
DESCRIPTION | The starter does not work.
POSSIBLE CAUSE | • Open starter circuit between ignition switch and starter • TR switch malfunction (AT) • TR switch misadjustment (AT) • Low or dead battery • Charging system malfunction • Starter interlock switch malfunction (MT with starter interlock system) • Starter malfunction • Fuel injector improper operation • Fuel injector malfunction (leakage, clogging, injection amount) • Low engine compression – Engine internal malfunction – Abnormal engine oil condition (viscosity, amount, deterioration) – Low oil pressure – Excessive fuel pressure – Air mixed in oil passage – Metering oil pump malfunction • Leakage or clogging in oil pipe • Leakage or clogging in oil nozzle • Seized/hydrolocked engine, flywheel or drive plate (excessive mechanical loss) • Air mixed in oil passage • Abnormal engine oil condition (viscosity, amount, deterioration) • Immobilizer system and/or circuit malfunction (if equipped) • Immobilizer system operating properly (Key is not registered.) Warning The following troubleshooting flow chart contains fuel system diagnosis and repair procedures. Read the following warnings before servicing the fuel system: • Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel. • Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete "BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE" and "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE" described in this manual. (See BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE.) (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE.) Caution • Disconnecting/connecting quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause damage to fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean quick release connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.
