A jumper wire is used to close an open circuit. Never use one
to connect a power supply directly to a load.
4. Voltmeter
A voltmeter is used to measure the circuit voltage. Normally,
the positive (red lead) probe is applied to the point of voltage
measurement and the negative (black lead) probe to the body
ground.
5. Ohmmeter
An ohmmeter is used to.check continuity or measure resis-
tance of a switch or coil. If the measuring range has been
changed, the zero point must be adjusted before measure-
ment.
CHECKING SWITCHES In a circuit diagram, a switch is represented by a symbol and in the
idle state.
1. Normal open or normal close switch
Switches are classified into those which make the circuit open
and those which make the circuit closed when off.

2. SWITCH CONNECTION
This figure illustrates a complex switch. The switch plates
indicated by solid lines move in the direction of the arrow
when
operated. The continuity between terminals at each po-
sition is as indicated in the table below.
NOTE
M denotes continuity between terminals.
CHECKING RELAYS
1. When current flows through the coil of a relay, its core is
magnetized to attract the iron piece, closing (ON) the contact
at the tip of the iron piece. When the coil current is turned off,
the iron piece is made to return to its original position by a
spring, opening the contact (OFF).
2. By using a relay, a heavy current can be turned on and off
by a switch of small capacity. For example, in the circuit
shown here, when the switch is turned on (closed), current
flows to the coil of the relay. Then, its contact is turned on
(closed) and the light comes on. The current flowing at this
time to the switch is the relay coil current only and is very
small.
3. The relays may be classified into the normal open type and the
normal close type by their contact construction.
NOTE
The deenergized state means that no kurrent is flowing
through the coil and the energized state means that current is
flowing through the coil.

STARTING SYSTEM-General Information 8-91
STARTING SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
NOBFAAJ
The electrical circuit of the starter system consists of battery, starter motor, solenoid switch, ignition switch,
inhibitor switch, connecting wire and battery cable.
In the starter system and electrical circuit, electricity flows to activate the coils of the starter motor solenoid when
the ignition switch is turned to the start position. In so doing, the solenoid plunger and clutch shift lever move, the
clutch pinion engages with the ring gear and then the solenoid contacts shut and the starter motor cranks.
As soon as the engine begins to run and, in order to prevent damage due to over-revolution by the armature starter,
the running clutch pinion gear over-rides, Thus in order not to cause damage to the starter motor once the engine
is running, the ignition switch must be immediately turned back to the ON position.
The starter motor is the reduction-drive type, and is compact and lightweight.

FUEL GAUGE
Measure the resistance value between t.he terminals by using
an ohmmeter.
Standard value :
l-2 terminals:
2-3 terminals:
l-3 terminals: 23-27 R
122-148 Sz
100-120 IR
Caution
If there is a malfunction of the ground contact of the
voltage regulator even once during vehicle operation,
the excessive current flowing through the heat coil of
the water temperature gauge and the fuel gauge will
cause permanent distortion of the bimetal, resulting in
the indications being consistently lower than the actual
value.
For this reason, therefore, be sure to make the earth
contact securely.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE

an ohmmeter.

SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION
2. INSTALLATION OF SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Insert the cable until its stopper properly fits to the
speedometer groove.
Caution
Poor installation of the cable may cause a fluctuating
meter pointer, or noise and a damaged harness inside
the instrument panel.
