Starter motor will not run.
The transmission is in neutral. Turn on the
ignition switch with the engine stop switch in
the “RUN” position and emergency switch in
the “SET” position (E-17 model). Listen for a
click from the starter relay when the starter
button is pushed.
Check if the starter motor runs
when its terminal is connected
to the + battery terminal (Do
not use a thin wire because a
large amount of current flows.)
Measure the starter relay voltage at the starter
relay connectors (between Y/B + and B/W -)
when the starter button is pushed.
