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 121
if necessary.
Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be
ready to turn off the engine immediately if it
starts.
3. On automatic transaxle 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 transaxle 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.
