1994-2012 Honda Accord Starter Diagnosis & Troubleshooting Tips

December 4, 2023

What are the symptoms of a bad honda accord starter?

Before discuss the signs of a bad starter,we should learn about every starter needs the correct voltage and amperage to crank the engine running.To do this,it has to meet the following conditions.

 

-The battery is in good condition and fully charged

-The battery and cable connections are in good condition

-The starter has a good ground connection

-All electrical cables are in good condition and not corroded

 

Any of these issues can cause slow or no cranking which will not start the engine. They can even cause internal damage to the starter. If nothing happens on your accord when you set the ignition switch in the start position, it could signal a variety of issues with a variety of components:

-Starter solenoid is compromised

-Battery cables are loosen or corroded

-Battery become weak even dead

-Starter has failed completely

-Open circuits in the ignition or starter circuit wiring

-Transmission linkage has a neutral safety switch and the vehicle is not in neutral or the switch is faulty

 

Before determining if you need a new or replacement accord starter from Hex Auto Parts, make sure you check and inspect these elements.

 

Battery: This should be the first thing you look at. Make certain the battery has enough voltage power to turn on the starter. A battery with no juice can't generate the volts or amps needed to start the engine.

Cable and Connections: Your battery can be in excellent condition and your starter perfectly fine, but if the cables and connections between aren't good, you're still going to have a problem. Make sure connections are all solid and there is no corrosion. Also make sure that the cables are not corroded inside.

Cranking Speed: Usually, an engine cranks at around 200-250 rpm. If your engine cranks at that speed but doesn't start, there's a good chance your starter and starting circuit is okay. One more test you can perform is a no-load free running test.

 

Here's how to run it:

-Remove the starter from the accord

-Support the starter in a large bench vice

-Use a battery & jumper cables to power the starter

-Hook the negative cable to the starter housing & the positive cable to the positive lead

-Jumper the battery positive terminal to the solenoid ignition terminal

Most starter motors spin around 2500-3000 rpm.If yours turns slowly or not at all, you need a new accord starter replacement.
