harness between C-208 (terminal No. 5)
ignition switch connector and B-21 (terminal
No. 1) starter connector.

• Check output line for short circuit.

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 8. Connector check: B-21 starter connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 9 .

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 9. Perform voltage measurement at B-21
starter connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at the har-

ness side.

• Ignition switch: ST

• Voltage between terminal No. 1 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 11 .

NO :

Go to Step 10 .

• Disconnect connector, and measure at the har-

ness side.

• Voltage between terminal No. 1 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 13 .

NO :

Check and repair harness between B-19

(terminal No. 1) starter connector and
battery.

• Check power supply line for

open/short circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 14 .

NO :

Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 14. Check harness between B-19 (terminal
No. 1) starter connector and battery.

• Check power supply line for damage.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Replace the starter.

NO :

Repair the damaged harness wire.
