Condition | Possible Sources | Actions |
|---|---|---|
The engine does not crank | Refer to the Pinpoint Test | GO to Pinpoint Test A |
The engine cranks slowly | Refer to the Pinpoint Test | PERFORM the starter system component test. REFER to Starter Motor - Positive Circuit Test in this section. |
The engine cranks but will not start | Fuses PCM Fuel pump Fuel pump relay Starter Wiring, terminals or connectors | Refer to Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual. Section 3 Symptom Charts. |
Unusual starter noise | Refer to the Pinpoint Test | GO to Pinpoint Test B |
The starter spins but the engine does not crank | Starter motor | INSPECT the starter motor mounting and engagement. REPAIR as necessary. |
Damaged flexplate | INSPECT the flexplate for damaged, missing or worn teeth. REPAIR as necessary. | |
The starter does not disengage from the flexplate | Starter relay Wiring, terminals or connectors | REMOVE the starter relay. If the engine stops cranking, INSTALL a new relay. If the engine continues to crank, REPAIR circuit CDC25 (BN/GN) for a short to voltage. |
The remote start is inoperative | Remote start feature not enabled Passive Key or battery PCM Wiring, terminals or connectors | REFER to: Locks, Latches and Entry Systems (501-14 Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems, Diagnosis and Testing). |
The remote start has poor range performance | Passive key or battery After market systems High power devices TV/radio transmission towers | REFER to: Locks, Latches and Entry Systems (501-14 Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems, Diagnosis and Testing). |

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
Inspect the run/start relay. Inspect the high current BJB connections. Verify the BJB fuse 60 (5A). Verify the BJB fuse 30 (30A). Inspect the passive key. Inspect the CPP switch (manual transmission only).
PINPOINT TEST A : ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK
A1 PERFORM INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
NOTE: Make sure battery voltage is greater than 12.2 volts prior to and during this pinpoint test.
NOTE: If it is necessary to leave the battery charger connected during testing, do not leave it on its highest or boost setting. The highest settings can
