1. Ignition OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.0-15.0 V.

⇒	If not within the specified range, refer to Battery Charging .

2. Remove the drive belts. Refer to the link list below.

•	Drive Belt Tensioner Replacement or Drive Belt Replacement for the 1.4L(LUJ)

•	Drive Belt Tensioner Replacement or Drive Belt Replacement for the 1.6L (LDE) or 1.8L (2H0, LUW)

•	Drive Belt Tensioner Replacement or Alternator, Air Conditioning Compressor, and Power Steering Pump Belt Replacement for the 1.6L (LXT)

•	Drive Belt Tensioner Replacement or Drive Belt Replacement for the 1.7L (LUD)

•	Drive Belt Tensioner Replacement or Alternator, Air Conditioning Compressor, and Power Steering Pump Belt Replacement for the 2.0L (LWW)

3. Place the S39 Ignition Switch to the CRANK position.

⇒	If the engine cranks normal, inspect the engine and belt drive system for mechanical binding, seized engine, or seized generator, etc.

4. Test for less than 0.5 V between the positive battery cable and terminal A X2 at the M64 Starter Motor as the S39 Ignition Switch is set to the CRANK position.

⇒	If greater than the specified value, replace the positive battery cable.

5. Test for less than 0.5 V between the negative battery cable and the starter motor case as the S39 Ignition Switch is placed to the CRANK position.

⇒	If greater than the specified value, replace the negative battery cable.

6. If all circuits test normal, replace the M64 Starter Motor.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
