Check “S” connector circuit. Refer to STR-15, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is
“S” connector circuit normal?
YES >> GO TO 9.
NO >> Repair as needed.
9.ENGINE ROTATION STATUS
Check that the engine can be rotated by hand.
Does the engine turn freely by hand?
YES >> Replace starter motor.
NO >> Perform further diagnosis of engine mechanical or powertrain mechanism. Once resolved, per-
form battery test again. Refer to Technical Service Bulletin.

VALUES ON DIAGNOSIS TOOL
NOTE:
1. The CONSULT-III electrically displays shift timi
ng and lock-up timing (that is, operation timing of each
solenoid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timi ng and the CONSULT-III display. If the difference is
noticeable, mechanical parts (except solenoids, sens ors, etc.) may be malfunctioning. Check mechanical
parts in accordance with the specified diagnostic procedures.
2. Shift schedule (that implies gear position) on CONSULT-III may slightly differ from that is described in Ser-
vice Manual. This occurs because of the reasons as per the following:
- Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance
- Shift schedule in Service Manual refers to the point where shifting starts
- Gear position on CONSULT-III indicates the point where shifting completes
3. Display of solenoid valves on CONSULT-III changes at t he start of shifting, while gear position is displayed
upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
