The most efficient way to diagnose a starter circuit is by using an inductive high-amperage clamp and a lab scope. If you've been a technician for any length of time, you'll likely relate to this scenario. A customer places a call to your shop and speaks to an advisor. The customer says he has a minor annoyance with a message from his driver information system on the instrument cluster. For peace of mind, he'd like to have the issue researched and checked out. In our customer's situation, it is the "Battery Low - Start Vehicle" message on his 2021 Chevrolet Silverado LT 4WD 5.3L Trail Boss Z71 with 20,203 miles on the clock. This engine has never failed to start, and the customer states that this message is very intermittent. He also adds that he has only witnessed one "slower than normal" engine cranking event so far (Figure 1). |
