No-Start/Normal Crank: Notes

CAUTION: Extended cranking, due to a no-start condition, can load exhaust system with raw fuel, which can damage catalytic converter after engine is started.

After repairing a no-start condition on models with electric Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system, disconnect AIR solid state relay. Start and run engine until surplus fuel is used, and then reconnect relay. Disconnecting AIR solid state relay may set a Continuous Memory DTC. After repairs are completed, clear DTCs. See CLEARING CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - EEC-V - CNG, FLEX-FUEL & GASOLINE article.
