STARTING SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
STARTING SYSTEMPFP:23300
System Description NKS002UQ
Power is supplied at all times

through 40A fusible link (letter F, located in the fuse and fusible link block)

to ignition switch terminal 1,

through 15A fuse (No. 78, located in the IPDM E/R)

to CPU of IPDM E/R,

through 10A fuse (No. 71, located in the IPDM E/R)

to CPU of IPDM E/R.
When the selector lever in the P or N position, power is supplied

from TCM, and through A/T assembly terminal 9

to IPDM E/R terminal 53.
Ground is supplied

to IPDM E/R terminals 38, 50 and 60

from grounds E21, E50 and E51.
With the ignition switch in the START position, and provided that the IPDM E/R receives a starter relay ON sig-
nal from the CAN lines, the IPDM E/R is energized and power is supplied

from ignition switch terminal 5

to IPDM E/R terminal 4 and

through IPDM E/R terminal 3

to starter motor terminal 1.
The starter motor plunger closes and provides a closed circuit between the battery and starter motor. The
starter motor is grounded to the engine block. With power and ground supplied, cranking occurs and the
engine starts.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 1
Check “B” Terminal Circuit
1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR STARTER MOTOR “B” TERMINAL
1. Remove fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is released.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Make sure that the starter motor “B” terminal E313 terminal 2 connection is clean and tight.
5. Check voltage between starter motor “B” terminal E313 terminal 2 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check harness between battery and starter motor for open circuit.
2. CHECK BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
Check voltage between starter motor “B” terminal E313 terminal 2
and battery positive terminal.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Check harness between battery and starter motor for poor continuity.
3. CHECK STARTER MOTOR GROUND CIRCUIT (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check voltage between starter motor case and battery negative terminal.
OK or NG
OK >> “B” terminal circuit is OK. Further inspection necessary. Refer to SC-11, "
Trouble Diagnosis with Starting/Charg-
ing System Tester (Starting)" .
NG >> Check starter motor case and ground for poor continuity.
*1 For battery testing, use Battery Ser-
vice Center (J-48087). For details
and operating instructions, refer to
Technical Service Bulletin and/or
Battery Service Center User Guide. *2

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2
Check “S” Connector Circuit
1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR STARTER MOTOR “S” TERMINAL
1. Remove fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is released.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Disconnect starter motor connector.
5. Check voltage between starter motor harness connector E312 (VK45DE) or F33 (VQ35DE) terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> “S” connector circuit is OK. Further inspection neces- sary. Refer to SC-11, "
Trouble Diagnosis with Starting/
Charging System Tester (Starting)" .
NG >> Check the following.
