Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools: multimeter, socket set, wrench set, OBD-II scanner.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Battery Inspection

• Remove the battery terminals (negative first, then positive).
• Clean the terminals and cable ends using a wire brush to remove any corrosion.
• Reconnect the terminals securely (positive first, then negative).
• If the battery voltage is low, jump-start the vehicle.

3. Starter Motor Check

• Locate the starter motor (usually near the engine block).
• Disconnect the wiring harness from the starter solenoid.
• Use a multimeter to check for voltage at the solenoid terminal while a helper turns the ignition key.
• If no voltage is present, further investigate the ignition switch and wiring.

4. Starter Replacement (if necessary)

• If the starter is faulty, remove it by unscrewing the mounting bolts.
• Disconnect the power and signal wires.
• Install the new starter by reversing the removal procedure.
• Torque the mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.

5. Final Steps

• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Start the vehicle to ensure proper operation.
