Check that the following wires are in good
condition:
⇒ the wire connecting the battery +,
component 107, to terminal B+ of the

the bodywork earth,
⇒ the wire connecting the engine to
the bodywork earth.Repair the damaged wires and terminals. If the
connection is faulty and if there is a repair
procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, repairing

and 1016.
If the connection is faulty and if there is a repair
procedure (see Technical Note 6015A,
repairing electrical wiring, wiring:

and 104.
If the connection is faulty and if there is a repair
procedure (see Technical Note 6015A,

ALP3 The starter is noisy when starting
NOTESTest the condition of the battery (see MR 413, 80A, Battery).
Check that the noise is actually coming from the starter.
Try to start the engine.
At what point is the noise heard?
Starting phase Just after the engine has started
Check if the starter is
insufficiently secured
Is the starter correctly secured?Tighten the starter mountings (see MR 411, 16A,
Starter: Removal - Refitting).
Remove the starter and check that the centring
pin is present. Check the condition of the pinion
and check the entire ring gearInhibit the engine injection (see 13B or 17B,
Interpretation of commands), activate the
starter for 2 seconds and release the key.
Is a fault noticed?Does the starter continue to run after the key is
released?

TEST1 Alternator supply test
NOTESTest the condition of the battery (see 80A, Battery).
Measure the voltage at the battery terminals with the engine warm and running at idle speed for 2 minutes and with
all consumers switched off.
Voltage value?
Replace the alternator (see MR 411, 16A, Starting - Charging,
Alternator: Removal - Refitting).
Visually inspect the consequences (battery condition, corrosion, etc.).
With the engine at idle speed, connect a current clamp to the alternator B+ wire, connection BPDA, with all
consumers switched off.
Current < 5 ACurrent between 5 A
and 35 ACurrent > 35A
Replace the alternator
(see MR 411, 16A, Starting -
Charging, Alternator:
Removal - Refitting).Keep the engine speed at
3000 rpm and still with no
consumers switched on.Check that there are no
electrical components
consuming an abnormal
amount of current.
Disconnect the fuses one by
one to identify the consumer.
To be examined Value of measured current?
(i 1)
< 14.8V> 14.8V

TEST2 Test the condition of the power fuse and the cause of its fault
NOTESCheck that the engine is not locked
With the ignition off, measure the voltage between the negative
battery terminal and the power fuse output.
Is the voltage greater than or equal to 10V?
The power fuse is sound The power fuse is faulty
With the battery disconnected, measure the resistance between
the negative battery terminal and the power fuse output.
Is the resistance
≥ 10 Ohms?
Disconnect the alternator + terminal and
then measure the resistance between the
negative battery terminal and the power
fuse output.Possible external causes:
use of a "starter charger", excessively long
use of starter (e.g.: activate the starter, gear
engaged for driving the vehicle) etc.
