Diagnostic Test

1. BATTERY CABLES

NOTE: Ensure there are no Active DTC's in the ECM or TIPM. If the ECM or TIPM have Active DTC's, repair these DTC's before continuing with No Crank diagnosis.


Turn the ignition off.

NOTE: The battery must be fully charged before diagnosing a no crank condition.


Inspect the battery cables for corrosion, looseness or other problems.

Is there evidence of problems?

Yes


No

2. ECM POWER AND GROUND CIRCUITS

Refer to CHECKING THE ECM POWER AND GROUNDS to check for proper ignition, battery and ground supply to the ECM.

Are the Ignition, Battery and Ground supply circuits functioning properly at the ECM?

Yes


No

3. SKIM CODES PRESENT

Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, read the SKIM DTCs.

Does the scan tool display any SKIM DTCs?

Yes


No

4. CHECKING STARTER OPERATION

NOTE: The Starter Motor Fuse in the TIPM must not be open for this test to be valid. Check the condition of the Starter Motor Fuse in the TIPM. If the fuse is open, replace and attempt to crank the engine.


Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the (T750) Starter Control Output circuit at the Starter Motor.
With a 12–volt test light connected to ground, probe the (T750) Starter Control Output circuit.
Fully depress the clutch pedal.
While observing the test light, turn the ignition switch to the Crank/Start position.

Is the test light illuminated brightly?

Yes


No

5. MECHANICAL PROBLEM

Turn the ignition off.
Attempt to manually rotate the crankshaft 360°.

Is the crankshaft able to rotate 360°?

Yes


No

6. VERIFY CLUTCH SWITCH INPUTS

Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, read the Clutch Upstop Switch and Clutch Interlock Switch inputs while fully depressing and releasing the clutch pedal.

Does the input for both switched change state while fully depressing and releasing the clutch pedal?

Yes


No

7. (T750) STARTER CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the TIPM C8 harness connector.
Connect the (T750) Starter Control Output wire (at the Starter) to ground.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (T750) Starter Relay Output circuit at the TIPM C8 harness connector.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No

8. (T750) STARTER CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND

Measure the resistance between ground and the (T750) Starter Control Output circuit.

Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?

Yes


No

9. CHECK WIRING, CONNECTORS AND TERMINALS

Turn the ignition off.
Check the wiring, connectors and terminals associated with the Starter Relay, Main Relay and Clutch Switch circuits. Check for poor terminal contact, corrosion, spread terminals, improper connections or other problems that could cause an intermittent condition.

Were any problems found?

Yes


No
