Starter Switch Check
CAUTION:
{
When you are doing this inspection, the
vehicle could move suddenly. If the
vehicle moves, you or others could be
injured.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough
room around the vehicle.
2. Firmly apply both the parking brake and the
regular brake. See Parking Brake on page 117
if necessary.
Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be
ready to turn off the engine immediately if
it starts.
3. On automatic transmission vehicles, try to
start the engine in each gear. The starter
should work only in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N). If the starter works in any
other position, your vehicle needs service.
On manual transmission vehicles, put the shift
lever in NEUTRAL, push the clutch pedal
down halfway and try to start the engine.
The starter should work only when the clutch
pedal is pushed down all the way to the
floor. If the starter works when the clutch pedal
is not pushed all the way down, your vehicle
needs service.
