DIAGNOSE – BATTERY DIES DURING START ATTEMPT

SYMPTOM SUMMARY

The battery goes dead or will not start the vehicle. The engine may crank slowly for a short period then fail to crank over.

USUAL CAUSE

The battery provides the necessary energy to start the vehicle. The ignition switch will route power from the battery to the starter motor to crank the engine. Once the engine is started, the alternator will re-charge the battery and provide the necessary electrical power to operate the vehicle’s electrical system. If the alternator is defective, the battery will not recharge once the engine is started. If there is an electrical load that is on such as a glove box or courtesy light that remains on at all times, this will also drain the battery over an extended period of time. Batteries can also fail internally which can cause them to self discharge.

DIAGNOSIS

If the engine can be started via a jump start and the battery light comes on, you should suspect a failure in the charging system. You should refer to the article “Battery Light On” on this website for diagnosis of this symptom. It will be necessary to determine whether the battery is defective or there is some electrical load on the battery causing it to drain over an extended period of time. Most repair shops or part stores can charge and test the battery for a nominal fee. This should be the first step in the diagnosis. You should also inspect for electrical loads that are present even after the vehicle is shut off. The hood, trunk, and glove box lamp should be inspected to ensure they are off when the corresponding door is closed. Temporarily removing the bulb to determine if the symptom is eliminated can isolate which circuit is the cause.

General Information of OBDII Tools

Safety Precautions and Warnings

To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the following safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:

>Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
>Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
>Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts.
>Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases are poisonous.
>Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while running tests.
>Use  extreme  caution  when  working  around  the  ignition  coil, distributor  cap,  ignition  wires  and  spark  plugs.  These components  create  hazardous  voltages  when  the  engine  is
running.
>Put  the  transmission  in  PARK  (for  automatic  transmission)  or NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
>Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/ electrical fires nearby.
>Don’t  connect  or  disconnect  any  test  equipment  while  the ignition is on or the engine is running.
>Keep the scan tool dry, clean, free from oil/water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the scan tool, when necessary.

On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) II 

The  first  generation  of  On-Board  Diagnostics (called  OBD I)  was developed  by  the California  Air  Resources  Board  (ARB)  and implemented  in  1988  to  monitor  some  of  the  emission  control components  on  vehicles.  As  technology  evolved  and  the  desire  to improve the On-Board Diagnostic system increased, a new generation of On-Board Diagnostic system was developed. This second generation of On-Board Diagnostic regulations is called "OBD II".

The OBD II system is designed to monitor emission control systems and  key  engine  components  by  performing  either  continuous  or periodic tests of specific components and vehicle conditions. When a problem is detected, the OBD II system turns on a warning lamp (MIL) on  the  vehicle  instrument  panel  to  alert  the  driver  typically  by  the phrase of “Check Engine” or “Service Engine Soon”. The system will also  store  important  information  about  the  detected  malfunction  so that a technician can accurately find and fix the problem. Here below follow three pieces of such valuable information:

1)  Whether  the  Malfunction  Indicator  Light  (MIL)  is commanded 'on' or 'off';
2)  Which, if any, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored;
3)  Readiness Monitor status.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) 

OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes are codes that are stored by the on-board computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in the vehicle.
These codes identify a particular problem area and are intended to provide you with a guide as to where a fault might be occurring within a vehicle.
OBD  II  Diagnostic Trouble Codes consists of  a  five-digit  alphanumeric code. The first character, a letter, identifies which control system sets the code.  The  other  four  characters,  all  numbers,  provide  additional information on where the DTC originated and the operating conditions that caused it to set.

Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC)

The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized  16-cavity  connector  where  diagnostic  scan  tools interface  with  the  vehicle's  on-board  computer. The  DLC  is  usually located  12  inches  from  the  center  of  the  instrument  panel  (dash),
under or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. If Data Link Connector is  not  located  under  dashboard,  a  label  should  be  there telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray must be removed to access
the  connector.  If  the  DLC  cannot  be  found,  refer  to  the  vehicle’s service manual for the location.

OBD II Readiness Monitors 

An important part of a vehicle’s OBD II system is the Readiness Monitors, which are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions components  have  been  evaluated  by  the  OBD  II  system.  They  are running periodic tests on specific systems and components to ensure
that they are performing within allowable limits.

Currently,  there  are  eleven  OBD  II  Readiness  Monitors  (or  I/M Monitors)  defined  by  the  U.S.  Environmental  Protection  Agency (EPA). Not all monitors are supported by all  vehicles and the exact number  of  monitors  in  any  vehicle  depends  on  the  motor  vehicle manufacturer’s emissions control strategy.

Continuous Monitors -- Some of the vehicle components or systems are continuously tested by the vehicle’s OBD II system, while others are  tested  only  under  specific  vehicle  operating  conditions.  The continuously monitored components listed below are always ready:
1）Misfire
2）Fuel System
3）Comprehensive Components (CCM)
Once  the  vehicle  is  running,  the  OBD  II  system  is  continuously checking  the  above  components,  monitoring  key  engine  sensors, watching for engine misfire, and monitoring fuel demands.

Non-Continuous Monitors -- Unlike the continuous monitors, many emissions  and  engine  system  components  require  the  vehicle  to  be operated under specific conditions before the monitor is ready. These monitors are termed non-continuous monitors. For  different  ignition type engines, the available monitors are different too.

The  following  monitors  are  to  be  used  for  spark  ignition  engines only:
1)  EGR System
2)  O2 Sensors
3)  Catalyst
4)  Evaporative System
5)  O2 Sensor Heater
6)  Secondary air
7)  Heated Catalyst

The  following  monitors  are  to  be  used  for compression  ignition engines only:
1)  EGR System
2)  NMHC Catalyst
3)  NOx aftertreatment
4)  Boost pressure system
5)  Exhaust gas sensor
6)  PM filter

OBD II Monitor Readiness Status

OBD II systems must indicate whether or not the vehicle’s PCM’s monitor  system  has  completed  testing  on  each  component.
Components  that have been tested will be reported as “Ready”, or “Complete”, meaning they have been tested by the OBD II system.
The  purpose  of  recording  readiness  status  is  to  allow  inspectors  to determine  if  the  vehicle’s  OBD  II  system  has  tested  all  the components and/or systems.

The power-train control module (PCM) sets a monitor to “Ready” or “Complete” after an appropriate drive cycle has been performed. The drive cycle that enables a monitor and sets readiness codes to “Ready” varies for each individual monitor. Once a monitor is set as “Ready”
or “Complete”, it will remain in this state. A number of factors, including erasing of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) with a scan tool or a disconnected battery, can result in Readiness Monitors being set to “Not Ready”. Since  the  three  continuous  monitors  are  constantly evaluating, they will be reported as “Ready” all of the time. If testing of  a  particular  supported  non-continuous  monitor  has  not  been completed, the monitor status will be reported as “Not Complete” or “Not Ready.”

In  order  for  the  OBD  monitor  system  to  become  ready,  the  vehicle should  be  driven  under  a  variety  of  normal  operating  conditions. These operating conditions may include a mix of highway driving and stop and go, city type driving, and at least one overnight-off period.
For specific information on getting your vehicle’s OBD monitor system ready, please consult your vehicle owner’s manual.

OBD II Definitions 

Power-train Control Module (PCM) -- OBD II terminology for the on-board computer that controls engine and drive train.

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) -- Malfunction Indicator Light (Service Engine Soon, Check Engine) is a term used for the light on the  instrument  panel.  It  is  to  alert  the  driver  and/or  the  repair technician  that  there  is  a  problem  with  one  or  more  of  vehicle's
systems and may cause emissions to exceed federal standards. If the MIL  illuminates  with  a  steady  light,  it  indicates  that  a  problem  has been detected and the vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible.
Under certain conditions, the dashboard light will blink or flash. This indicates  a  severe  problem  and  flashing  is  intended  to  discourage vehicle operation. The vehicle onboard diagnostic system cannot turn the MIL off until necessary repairs are completed or the condition no
longer exists.

DTC -- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) that identify which section of the emission control system has malfunctioned.

Enabling Criteria -- Also termed Enabling Conditions. They are the vehicle-specific  events  or  conditions  that  must  occur  within  the engine before the various monitors will set, or run.    Some monitors require the vehicle to follow a prescribed “drive cycle” routine as part of  the  enabling  criteria.  Drive  cycles  vary  among  vehicles  and  for each monitor in any particular vehicle.

OBD  II  Drive  Cycle -- A  specific  mode  of  vehicle  operation  that provides  conditions  required  to  set  all  the  readiness  monitors applicable  to  the  vehicle to the “ready” condition. The purpose of completing  an  OBD  II  drive  cycle  is  to  force  the  vehicle  to  run  its onboard  diagnostics.  Some  form  of  a  drive  cycle  needs  to  be performed after DTCs have been erased from the PCM’s memory or after the battery has been disconnected. Running through a vehicle’s complete drive cycle will “set” the readiness monitors so that future faults can be detected. Drive cycles vary depending on the vehicle and the  monitor  that  needs  to  be  reset.  For  vehicle  specific  drive  cycle, consult the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

Freeze  Frame  Data -- When  an  emissions  related  fault  occurs,  the OBD II system not only sets a code but also records a snapshot of the vehicle operating parameters to help in identifying the problem. This set  of  values  is  referred  to  as  Freeze  Frame  Data  and  may  include
important engine parameters such as engine RPM, vehicle speed, air flow,  engine  load,  fuel  pressure,  fuel  trim  value,  engine  coolant temperature, ignition timing advance, or closed loop status.

How Brakes Work

                                                                                       

We all know that pushing down on the brake pedal slows a car to a stop. But how does this happen? How does your car transmit the force from your leg to its wheels? How does it multiply the force so that it is enough to stop something as big as a car?

When you depress your brake pedal, your car transmits the force from your foot to its brakes through a fluid. Since the actual brakes require a much greater force than you could apply with your leg, your car must also multiply the force of your foot. It does this in two ways:

Mechanical advantage (leverage)
Hydraulic force multiplication

The brakes transmit the force to the tires using friction, and the tires transmit that force to the road using friction also. Before we begin our discussion on the components of the brake system, we'll cover these three principles:

Leverage
Hydraulics
Friction

We'll discuss leverage and hydraulics in the next section.

Leverage and Hydraulics

In the fi­gure below, a force F is being applied to the left end of the lever. The left end of the lever is twice as long (2X) as the right end (X). Therefore, on the right end of the lever a force of 2F is available, but it acts through half of the distance (Y) that the left end moves (2Y). Changing the relative lengths of the left and right ends of the lever changes the multipliers.

The basic idea behind any hydraulic system is very simple: Force applied at one point is transmitted to another point using an incompressible fluid, almost always an oil of some sort. Most brake systems also multiply the force in the process. Here you can see the simplest possible hydraulic system:

Simple hydraulic system

In the figure above, two pistons (shown in red) are fit into two glass cylinders filled with oil (shown in light blue) and connected to one another with an oil-filled pipe. If you apply a downward force to one piston (the left one, in this drawing), then the force is transmitted to the second piston through the oil in the pipe. Since oil is incompressible, the efficiency is very good -- almost all of the applied force appears at the second piston. The great thing about hydraulic systems is that the pipe connecting the two cylinders can be any length and shape, allowing it to snake through all sorts of things separating the two pistons. The pipe can also fork, so that one master cylinder can drive more than one slave cylinder if desired, as shown in here:

Master cylinder with two slaves

The other neat thing about a hydraulic system is that it makes force multiplication (or division) fairly easy. If you have read How a Block and Tackle Works or How Gear Ratios Work, then you know that trading force for distance is very common in mechanical systems. In a hydraulic system, all you have to do is change the size of one piston and cylinder relative to the other, as shown here:

Hydraulic multiplication

To determine the multiplication factor in the figure above, start by looking at the size of the pistons. Assume that the piston on the left is 2 inches (5.08 cm) in diameter (1-inch / 2.54 cm radius), while the piston on the right is 6 inches (15.24 cm) in diameter (3-inch / 7.62 cm radius). The area of the two pistons is Pi * r2. The area of the left piston is therefore 3.14, while the area of the piston on the right is 28.26. The piston on the right is nine times larger than the piston on the left. This means that any force applied to the left-hand piston will come out nine times greater on the right-hand piston. So, if you apply a 100-pound downward force to the left piston, a 900-pound upward force will appear on the right. The only catch is that you will have to depress the left piston 9 inches (22.86 cm) to raise the right piston 1 inch (2.54 cm).

Next, we'll look at the role that friction plays in brake systems.

Friction

Friction is a measure of how hard it is to slide one object over another. Take a look at the figure below. Both of the blocks are made from the same material, but one is heavier. I think we all know which one will be harder for the bulldozer to push.

To understand why this is, let's take a close look at one of the blocks and the table:

Even though the blocks look smooth to the naked eye, they are actually quite rough at the microscopic level. When you set the block down on the table, the little peaks and valleys get squished together, and some of them may actually weld together. The weight of the heavier block causes it to squish together more, so it is even harder to slide.

Different materials have different microscopic structures; for instance, it is harder to slide rubber against rubber than it is to slide steel against steel. The type of material determines the coefficient of friction, the ratio of the force required to slide the block to the block's weight. If the coefficient were 1.0 in our example, then it would take 100 pounds of force to slide the 100-pound (45 kg) block, or 400 pounds (180 kg) of force to slide the 400-pound block. If the coefficient were 0.1, then it would take 10 pounds of force to slide to the 100-pound block or 40 pounds of force to slide the 400-pound block.

So the amount of force it takes to move a given block is proportional to that block's weight. The more weight, the more force required. This concept applies for devices like brakes and clutches, where a pad is pressed against a spinning disc. The more force that presses on the pad, the greater the stopping force.

COEFFICIENTS

An interesting thing about friction is that it usually takes more force to break an object loose than to keep it sliding. There is a coefficient of static friction, where the two surfaces in contact are not sliding relative to each other. If the two surfaces are sliding relative to each other, the amount of force is determined by the coefficient of dynamic friction, which is usually less than the coefficient of static friction.

For a car tire, the coefficient of dynamic friction is much less than the coefficient of static friction. The car tire provides the greatest traction when the contact patch is not sliding relative to the road. When it is sliding (like during a skid or a burnout), traction is greatly reduced.

A Simple Brake System

Before we get into all the parts of an actual car brake system, let's look at a simplified system:

You can see that the distance from the pedal to the pivot is four times the distance from the cylinder to the pivot, so the force at the pedal will be increased by a factor of four before it is transmitted to the cylinder.

You can also see that the diameter of the brake cylinder is three times the diameter of the pedal cylinder. This further multiplies the force by nine. All together, this system increases the force of your foot by a factor of 36. If you put 10 pounds of force on the pedal, 360 pounds (162 kg) will be generated at the wheel squeezing the brake pads.

There are a couple of problems with this simple system. What if we have a leak? If it is a slow leak, eventually there will not be enough fluid left to fill the brake cylinder, and the brakes will not function. If it is a major leak, then the first time you apply the brakes all of the fluid will squirt out the leak and you will have complete brake failure.

The master cylinder on modern cars is designed to deal with these potential failures. Be sure to check out the article on How Master Cylinders and Combination Valves Work, and the rest of the articles in the brake series (see the links on the next page), to learn more.
