Table 1
Typical Voltage Of Electrical System During Cranking At Various Ambient Temperatures    
Temperature     24V System    
−23 to −7°C (−10 to 20°F)     12V to 16V    
−7 to 10°C (20 to 50°F)     14V to 18V    
10 to 27°C (50 to 80°F)     16V to 24V    The following table shows the maximum acceptable loss of voltage in the battery circuit. The battery circuit supplies high current to the starting motor. The values in the table are for engines which have service of 2000 hours or more.
Table 2
Maximum Acceptable Voltage Drop In The Starting Motor Circuit During Cranking    
Circuit     24V System    
Battery post "-" to the starting motor terminal "-"     1.4V    
Drop across the disconnect switch     1.0V    
Battery post "+" to the terminal of the starting motor solenoid "+"     1.0V    
Solenoid terminal "Bat" to the solenoid terminal "Mtr"     0.8V     Voltage drops that are greater than the amounts in Table 2 are caused most often by the following conditions:
Loose connections
Corroded connections
Faulty switch contactsDiagnosis Procedure

The procedures are not intended to cover all possible problems and conditions. The procedures serve only as a guide.
If equipped with electric start, do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starter to cool for two minutes before cranking again.Never turn the disconnect switch off while the engine is running. Serious damage to the electrical system can result.
If the starting motor does not crank or cranks slow, perform the following procedure:
Measure the voltage of the battery.Measure the voltage across the battery posts with the multimeter when you are cranking the engine or attempting to crank the engine. Do not measure the voltage across the cable post clamps.
If the voltage is equal or greater than the voltage in Table 1, then go to Step 2.
The battery voltage is less than the voltage in Table 1.A low charge in a battery can be caused by several conditions.
Deterioration of the battery
A shorted starting motor
A faulty alternator
Loose drive belts
Current leakage in another part of the electrical systemRefer to Special Instruction, SEHS7633 in order to test the battery.
Measure the current that is sent to the starting motor solenoid from the positive post of the battery.Note: If the following conditions exist, do not perform the test in Step 2 because the starting motor has a problem.
The voltage at the battery post is within 2V of the lowest value in the applicable temperature range of Table 1.
The large starting motor cables get hot.Use the 225-8266 Ammeter Tool Gp in order to measure the current. Place the jaws of the ammeter around the cable that is connected to the "bat" terminal. Refer to the Specifications Module, "Starting Motor" for the maximum current that is allowed for no load conditions.The current and the voltages that are specified in the Specifications Module are measured at a temperature of 27°C (80°F). When the temperature is below 27°C (80°F), the voltage will be lower through the starting motor. When the temperature is below 27°C (80°F), the current through the starting motor will be higher. If the current is too great, a problem exists in the starting motor. Repair the problem or replace the starting motor.If the current is within the specification, proceed to Step 3.
Measure the voltage at the starting motor.
Use the 6V-7070 Digital Multimeter in order to measure the voltage at the starting motor. Measure the voltage from test point (4) to test point (5) when you are cranking or attempting to crank the engine.
If the voltage is equal or greater than the voltage that is given in Table 1, then the battery and the starting motor cable that goes to the starting motor are within specifications. Go to Step 5.
The starting motor voltage is less than the voltage specified in Table 1. The voltage drop between the battery and the starting motor is too great. Go to Step 4.
Measure the voltage.
Measure the voltage drops in the cranking circuits with the multimeter. Compare the results with the voltage drops which are allowed in Table 2.
Voltage drops are equal to the voltage drops that are given in Table 2 or the voltage drops are less than the voltage drops that are given in Table 2. Go to Step 5 in order to check the engine.
The voltage drops are greater than the voltage drops that are given in Table 2. The faulty component should be repaired or replaced.
Rotate the crankshaft by hand in order to ensure that the crankshaft is not stuck. Check the oil viscosity and any external loads that could affect the engine rotation.
If the crankshaft is stuck or difficult to turn, repair the engine.
If the engine is not difficult to turn, go to Step 6.
Attempt to crank the starting motor.
The starting motor cranks slowly.Remove the starting motor for repair or replacement.
The starting motor does not crank.Check for the blocked engagement of the pinion gear and flywheel ring gear.Note: Blocked engagement and open solenoid contacts will give the same electrical symptoms.
