MALFUNCTION
TEST OR INSPECTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Step 3.
Inspect lead connections at starter solenoid for corrosion and damage. Check
starter mounting bolts for looseness.
Clean any corroded connections. Tighten any loose connections. Replace any
damaged connections. Tighten starter mounting bolts to 33 Ib.-ft. (45 N•m).
Step 4.
Have assistant hold key in “START” position. Check for voltage at purple lead on
starter solenoid.
If there is voltage, replace starter. (See paragraph 4-5)
If there is no voltage, perform step 5.
Step 5.
Remove starter relay. (See paragraph 4-13) Turn key to “START” position. Check for
voltage at purple/white lead terminal on starter relay connector.
If there is voltage, perform step 6.
If there is no voltage, trace circuit. (See wiring diagram F-1 or F-2)
Step 6.
Check for voltage at purple/white lead terminal on starter relay connector.
If there is voltage, replace relay.
If there is no voltage, trace circuit, (See wiring diagram F-1 or F-2)
Step 7.
Check for voltage at red lead terminal or starter relay connector.
If there is voltage, replace relay.
If there is no voltage, trace circuit. (See wiring diagram F-1 or F-2)
42.1. STARTER STAYS ENGAGED
NOTE
Original starter relays on vehicles prior to July 1985 production were
defective. The point gap inside was too small causing starter to stay
engaged. Vehicles produced after July 1985 and the current starter relay in
supply system have a wider point gap to correct this problem.
Perform Electrical Troubleshooting malfunction #42. (See wiring diagram F-1 or F-2)
Replace relay.
