If it won’t disengage from the ring gear when you re-

cause.

• Solenoid plunger and switch malfunction.

• Dirty pinion gear or damaged overrunning clutch.

3. Check the battery condition. Check electrical connec-

tions at the battery, battery negative cable connected
to the body, engine ground cables, and the starter for
looseness and corrosion. Then try starting the engine
again.

If the starter cranks normally the engine, repairing the

loose connection repaired the problem. The starting

If the starter still does not crank the engine, go to next

step.

4. Disconnect the connector from the S-terminal of so-

solenoid to the S-terminal of solenoid.

If the starter cranks the engine, go to next step.

If the starter still does not crank the engine, remove
the starter, and repair or replace as necessary.

5. Check the following items in the order listed until you

find the open circuit.

• Check the wire and connectors between the

driver’s under-dash fuse/relay box and the igni-
tion switch, and between the driver’s under-dash
fuse/relay box and the starter.
• Check the ignition switch (Refer to BE group -
ignition system)
• Check the transaxle range switch connector or
ignition lock switch connector.
• Inspect the starter relay.
