WARRANTY:

NOTE:

Repair procedures are under constant review, and therefore times are subject to change; those quoted here must be taken as guidance only.

Always refer to DDW to obtain the latest repair time.

DDW requires the use of causal part numbers. Labor only claims must show the causal part number with a quantity of zero.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

STARTER INSPECTION AND SYMPTOM VERIFICATION

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Visually inspect for obvious mechanical faults:

^ Gear selector lever cable adjustment

^ Engine (turns freely)

^ Starter motor pinion gear damaged, seized

2010 Land Rover Range Rover (LM) V8-5.0L SC Page 107

^ Flywheel/drive plate ring gear damaged

3. Visually inspect for obvious electrical faults:

^ Battery state of charge

^ Incorrect battery fitted

^ Fuses

^ Starter relay

^ Wiring Harness(es) and connectors

^ Damaged, loose or corroded battery or starter cables and connections

^ Damaged, loose or corroded engine ground cable and connections

^ Ignition switch

^ Generator

^ Engine control module (ECM)

^ Transmission control module (TCM)

4. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.

CAUTION:

A Midtronics PSC-550 Vehicle Power Supply must be connected to the vehicle battery during diagnosis.

5. Connect the Midtronics PSC-550 power supply to the vehicle battery.

6. Connect IDS to the vehicle and begin a new diagnostic session by entering the correct VIN for the current vehicle.

7. Use the approved diagnostic system or a scan tool to retrieve any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) before moving onto the symptom chart or

DTC index.

8. Make sure all DTCs are cleared following rectification.

9. Disconnect diagnostic equipment.

STARTER DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING TABLE

The engine does not crank (starter motor does NOT turn)

10. During cranking confirm that the voltage at the starter motor solenoid terminals (battery positive terminal and starter relay terminal) is also

present at the motor positive terminal.

11. If no voltage is present at the motor positive terminal during cranking, replace the starter motor solenoid as described in Starter Solenoid -

Removal and Replacement Section of this bulletin:

^ Disconnect battery
