1. An apparatus that supports starting-failure-handling, comprising:
- a voltage sensing circuit configured to sense a voltage at at least one point on a fuel pump circuit;
a controller configured to;
determine the amount of current at the at least one point based on the sensed voltage;
determine a cause of the starting failure based on a state of a vehicle and the voltage and current amount; and
output information regarding the cause of the starting failure and handling instructions regarding the start failure.

Abstract
A method and system of handling starting failure of a vehicle are provided. The method includes detecting, by a controller, a failure occurring in vehicle starting and sensing, by a voltage sensing circuit, the voltage value at at least one point on a fuel pump circuit. In addition, the controller is configured to calculate the current amount based on the sensed voltage value and analyze the cause for the starting failure based on the current amount and the traveling state of a vehicle. Then, the controller is configured to output the handling information for the failure cause.
