Hi Ken, I have the vehicle listed above and it won’t engage the kick starter when push button is pressed, rather it turns the dash off.

VIN: 4A4AR4AU0EE028967

I like to have Diagram of the push button to the kick stater relay and the kickstarter.

It sounds like the battery is no good, have you had it load tested? Or you have a bad connection at the battery please go over this guide to help:

I got the code.
Hi Ken, please may I have the Pinout for can bus network for the ECM and TCM? I am getting a no communication codes after. Also having the can bus area network wiring diagram will easily help.

A broken wire leaving the fuse box relay to the starter. From the previous diagram you sent, we followed and saw a broken wire.
