ALP1 The starter does not work
NOTESTest the condition of the battery (see 80A, Battery).
Test the condition of the power fuse (see TEST 2).
Check that fuse F9 on component 1016 is in good condition.
Check that the engine is not jammed.
Check that the following terminals are 
correctly tightened:
⇒ the battery
⇒ starter
⇒ engine earth
⇒ bodywork earth
Retighten the terminals (see MR 411, 80A, 
Battery, Battery: Removal - Refitting).
Are the terminals correctly tightened?
Check that the following wires are in good 
condition:
⇒ the wire connecting the battery +, 
component 107, to terminal B+ of the 
starter, component 163,
⇒ the wire connecting the battery - to 
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 
electrical wiring, wiring: Precautions for 
repair), repair the wiring otherwise change the 
wiring. Are the wires in good condition?
Try starting.
If the starter still does not turn, can a clicking 
noise be heard when the starter is 
activated?

Check for 12 V on relay 232 between 
connection 1A of component 232 and a 
chassis earth when starting is requested.
Is there 12 V?Replace the starter relay (see MR 411 
Mechanical, 81C, FUSES, Engine 
compartment fuse and relay box: List and 
location of components).
Continuity and/or insulation fault on 
connection 1A between components 232 and 
163. If there is a repair method (see Technical 
Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, 
Wiring: Precautions for repair) repair the 
wiring, otherwise replace it.

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.
Is the resistance 
≥ 10 Ohms?
YESNO

Check the wiring connecting the alternator and the 
starter to the battery + terminal (see TEST 3).Replace the alternator (see MR 411, 16A, 
Starting - Charging, Alternator: Removal - 
Refitting).
Is it in good condition?
Replace the starter (see MR 411, 16A, Starting - 
Charging, Starter: Removal - Refitting).
Repair the damaged wires and terminals. If the 
connection is faulty and if there is a repair procedure 
(see Technical Note 6015A, repairing electrical 
wiring, wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the 
wiring otherwise change the wiring.
