In the event of fault

In the event of a starter motor relay fault, the engine will not start.

Fault codes generated and possible correlated faults

The engine control unit generates no fault code in the event of a starter motor relay fault.

No errors are indicated on the dashboard.

Possible correlated faults: the starter motor cannot be operated. Check:

Note

Check integrity of electric circuit - short-circuit to vdc = with dashboard on, using a voltmeter, a voltage is measured between the wire tested and ground.

Check integrity of electric circuit - short-circuit to ground = with the battery cables disconnected, using an ohmmeter, continuity is detected between the wire tested and ground.

Check integrity of electric circuit - open circuit = with the battery cables disconnected, using an ohmmeter, no continuity is detected between the two ends of the wire tested.

If none of the tests described above identifies the problem and the power supply and ground for the engine control unit are in correct working order, replace the engine control unit.
