System Operation
OPERATION
The starter solenoid is energised by the BJB (battery junction box) on receipt of a signal from the ECM (engine control
module) when the ignition is in engine crank power mode 9. W hen engine cranking is requested, the ECM checks that a
valid smart key code has been received before granting the crank request.

Component Description
DESCRIPTION
The starter motor is located on the rear LH (left-hand) side of the cylinder block and protrudes through an aperture to drive
the flywheel via a ring gear. The motor is secured to the cylinder block by 2 bolts.

The power for starter operation is supplied on a substantial single cable connected direct from the battery positive
terminal. Incorporated in the cable between the battery and the starter motor/generator is a CAL3 starter fuse. The fuse is
mounted adjacent the battery positive terminal and is integral with the cable assembly. In the event of fuse failure, the
complete cable assembly must be replaced. The cable is connected to the solenoid via a copper threaded stud and secured
with a nut. The solenoid power cable from the BJB is located adjacent to the power cable and is also attached to the
solenoid via a copper threaded stud and nut.

Inspection and verification

CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does
not guarantee confirmation of a fault and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being checked and/or the donor
vehicle.

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Visually inspect for obvious mechanical or electrical faults.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding
to the next step.

4. Use the approved diagnostic system or a scan tool to retrieve any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) before moving
onto the symptom chart or DTC index.
Make sure that all DTCs are cleared following rectification.

5. Check DDW for open campaigns. Refer to the corresponding bulletins and SSM's which may be valid for the specific
customer complaint and carry out the recommendations as needed.
