Possible Causes |
|---|
| POOR CONNECTION AT THE BATTERY OR STARTER MOTOR |
| POOR BATTERY CONDITION |
| FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM FAILURE |
| ENGINE MECHANICAL ISSUE |
| POOR STARTER MOTOR CONDITION (DRAGGING OR OVERHEATING) |
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
| 1. | Turn the ignition on. |
| 2. | With the scan tool, erase DTCs in the PCM. |
| 3. | Test drive the vehicle in Start/Stop mode. Make several complete stops, and Auto-Restart attempts. |
| 4. | Turn the ignition on. |
| 5. | With the scan tool, select View DTCs. |
