relay to starter solenoid for loose or corroded connec-
tions. Particularly at starter terminals.
² Repeat test. If engine still fails to crank properly,
trouble is within starter or starter mounted solenoid,
and it must be removed for repairs. Refer to Group
8B, Battery/Starter/Generator Service, Starter re-
placement.
STARTER RELAY TEST
WARNING: CHECK TO ENSURE THAT THE TRANS-
MISSION IS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL WITH THE
PARKING BRAKE APPLIED
(1) Verify battery condition. Battery must be in
good condition with a full charge before performing
any starter tests. Refer to Battery Tests. (2) Perform the preceding starter solenoid tests
BEFORE performing starter relay tests. Refer to
Starter Solenoid Test. (3) Locate and remove the starter relay. For
starter relay locations, refer to Starter Solenoid Test
(Fig. 13 or 14). (4) After the starter relay has been located and re-
moved, refer to Starter Relay Tests (Fig. 15).
NEUTRAL STARTING AND BACK-UP SWITCH
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ONLY
For electrical diagnostics, when checking starter
circuits, refer to Starter Relay Tests (Fig. 15). For replacement of switch, refer to Group 21, Tran-
saxle, Neutral Starting and Switch Replacement.
STARTER INTERLOCK SWITCHÐCLUTCH PEDAL MOUNTED
MANUAL TRANSMISSION ONLY
For electrical diagnostics, refer to the Starter Relay
Tests. For replacement and/or adjustment of the switch,
refer to Group 6, Manual Transaxle Clutch, Manual
Transaxle Starter Interlock Switch.
IGNITION SWITCH TEST
After testing the starter solenoid and relay, test ig-
nition switch and wiring. Refer to Group 8D, Ignition
Systems, or the Front Wheel Drive Car Wiring Dia-
grams Service Manual. Check all wiring for opens or
shorts, and all connectors for being loose or corroded.
BENCH TESTING STARTER SOLENOID
(1) Disconnect field coil wire from field coil termi-
nal (Fig. 16 or 17). (2) Check for continuity between solenoid terminal
and field coil terminal with a continuity tester. Con-
tinuity should be detected (Fig. 18 or 19). (3) Check for continuity between solenoid terminal
and solenoid housing (Fig. 20 or 21). Continuity
should be detected. If continuity is detected, solenoid
is good. (4) If continuity is not detected in either test, sole-
noid has an open circuit and is defective. If equipped
with:
² BOSCH STARTER: Replace the solenoid.
² NIPPONDENSO STARTER: Replace the starter
assembly.

(5) Connect an engine tachometer and connect bat-
tery negative cable. (6) Connect a volt/amp tester equipped with a vari-
able carbon pile rheostat between battery terminals
(Fig. 6). Be sure carbon pile is in OFF position before
connecting leads. (7) Remove fresh air hose between Powertrain
Control Module computer and air cleaner if neces-
sary. (8) Full field the generator. Connect a jumper wire
between a good ground and K20 circuit terminal at
the back of the generator (Figs. 2 and 5).
CAUTION: Do not connect the A142 circuit terminal
(Fig. 2) to ground. Fusible link will burn.
TEST
(1) Start the engine. Immediately after starting,
reduce engine speed to idle.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
(EVIC) OVERHEAD CONSOLE
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center is a
computer controlled warning system which, monitors
various sensors used on the vehicle. The system sup-
plements the warning indicators in 8the instrument
cluster. Visual warning messages are displayed by a
digital display in the overhead console (Fig. 1).
When a warning message has been activated, a
tone will sound to attract the driver's attention. The
warning message will then be displayed on the over-
head console until the condition is corrected or a new
display function is called up. A tone will announce each new warning condition.
For complete diagnostic procedures for the EVIC
systems, refer to the Body-Chassis Diagnostic Test
Procedures Manual. The EVIC has a 24 function system that provides
the driver with visual messages when a warning con-
dition exists. These messages are displayed on the
overhead console. For complete EVIC overhead console operating in-
structions, refer to the Owners Manual provided with
the vehicle.
EVIC BUTTON FUNCTIONS
TIME button will display:
² Time of day
² Day of week
² Day of month
² Month of year
The body controller is the source of this informa-
tion. The EVIC function buttons are used to reset
and display this data.
² To set HOURS, press TIME button and within four
seconds press the SET button. An arrow will appear
on the display and point to the hours. Press and hold
the SET button to advance the hours or INFO button
to set back the hours.
² To set MINUTES, press TIME button. The arrow
will point to the minutes. Press and hold the SET
button to advance the minutes or INFO button to set
back the minutes.

BUS ACCESSED DIAGNOSTICS
The following diagnostic test may be used to check
the integrity of the EVIC's internal connections and
operations. Refer to the Body Chassis Diagnostic Test
Procedure Manual for test procedures. MODULE RESET TEST, when the EVIC receives
this request from the DRB II, the EVIC will immedi-
ately enter into reset. DISPLAY TEST: The EVIC receives a request from
the DBR II, the EVIC will enter into a visual display
mode. Also checks the integrity of the display driver
to anode connections. The test shall consist of walk-
ing through the vertical and horizontal rows of an-
odes in the dot matrix display. SWITCH STATUS TEST, when the EVIC receives
this request from the DRB II, the EVIC will report
the open/closed status of each individual switch. FAULT BYTE TEST, when the EVIC receives this
request from the DRB II, the EVIC will report fault
status. Messages reported are:
² NO FAULT
² DISPLAY DRIVER FAULT
² EVIC MISSING MESSAGES
² POWER SUPPLY FAILURE
² FAULT IN RAM
² FAULT IN ROM
EVIC missing message implies that there may be a
system failure and/or the body controller is not pro-
viding EVIC with sufficient information. DISPLAY DRIVER FAULT, power supply failure
and fault in RAM/ROM implies that the EVIC is de-
fective.
