What Does the Battery & Starting System Do?

The battery and starting system help provide the electrical power needed to start your vehicle and support important electrical components.

This system may include:

• the battery
• starter motor
• alternator
• battery cables and terminals
• charging system components

If one part is not working properly, it can affect the performance of the entire system.

Signs of Battery or Starting System Problems

Battery and starting system issues can appear in different ways depending on the cause.

Common signs may include:

• slow engine cranking
• clicking sounds when starting
• dim headlights or interior lights
• dashboard battery warning light
• a vehicle that won’t start
• electrical accessories not working properly

These symptoms can have more than one cause, so proper testing is important. If your battery warning light is on, you can also learn more about our alternator and charging system service.
