Description:

This code indicates that the engine starter motor relay current is above normal or the starter output circuit is shorted to ground. This could be due to a short circuit in the wiring, a defective starter relay, or problems with the starter motor.

Reaction:

The engine may not start, and the starter motor may not function properly. The operator might see a warning light or message on the dashboard indicating a starting issue.

Recommendations:

• Inspect Starter Relay and Wiring:
  • Check the starter relay for proper operation and any signs of short circuits.
  • Inspect the wiring for damage, shorts to ground, or loose connections.
• Test Starter Motor:
  • Verify that the starter motor operates correctly without shorting.
  • Replace the starter motor if necessary.
• Check Electrical Connections:
  • Ensure all electrical connections in the starter system are secure and not shorted to ground.
• Inspect Battery Connections:
  • Ensure the battery terminals and cables are clean, tight, and free of corrosion.

Note:

Routine checks and maintenance of the electrical system and starter components can help prevent issues with the starter relay and motor.
