3. If voltage is not present or is less than 8 volts at starter solenoid terminal "S", malfunction in circuit to terminal "S" is indicated. Proceed
to the following tests.
IGNITION SWITCH TEST
1. Locate ignition switch connector under dash. Using a 12-volt test light or voltmeter, ensure voltage is present on Black/Yellow wire
when ignition switch is turned to RUN or ON position. This will verify proper operation of ignition switch.
2. If there is no voltage on Black/Yellow wire, the problem is either ignition switch or circuit between battery and ignition switch.
CLUTCH ENGAGE SWITCH (M/T) TEST
Unplug clutch engage switch from main wiring harness. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity across switch terminals. Continuity should
exist when switch plunger is pushed in and should not exist when switch plunger is released. If clutch engage switch does not operate as
specified, replace switch.
NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH (A/T) TEST
Unplug neutral safety switch from main wiring harness. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity across switch terminals "A" and "B". See Fig.
2 . Place transmission shift selector in Park or Neutral position. Continuity should exist between terminals "A" and "B". Continuity should not
exist in any other transmission shift selector positions. If switch does nor operate as specified, replace switch.

VOLTAGE DROP TEST
1. Disconnect and ground coil wire from distributor cap to prevent engine from starting. Connect remote starter switch between starter
solenoid terminal "S" and battery positive terminal. See Fig. 3
.
2. Using a digital voltmeter set on low scale, connect positive voltmeter lead to battery positive terminal. Connect negative lead to starter
solenoid terminal "M". See Fig. 3
.
3. Engage remote starter switch. Observe and record voltmeter reading. Voltmeter reading should be less than .5 volt. If voltage at terminal
"M" is greater than .5 volt, move negative voltmeter lead to solenoid terminal "B", and repeat test.
4. If voltage at terminal "B" is less than .5 volt, inspect solenoid cable connections and solenoid contacts for problem.
5 . Cl ean so l en o id t ermin al s "B", "M" an d "S", an d rep eat st ep s 1 ) through 4). If voltmeter still reads greater than .5 volt at termin al "M"
and less than .5 volt at terminal "B", solenoid contacts are bad.
6. If voltmeter reads greater than .5 volt at terminal "B", clean cables and connections at solenoid. If voltmeter still reads greater than .5
volt, check for poor positive battery cable connection or bad cable. Repair or replace as necessary.
7. To locate excessive voltage drop, move negative voltmeter lead toward battery, and check each connection point. When high voltmeter
reading is no longer present, last connection point is bad.
NOTE:Make all voltm eter connections at com ponent term inal rather than at cable or wire end.

STARTER GROUND CIRCUIT TEST
1. Disconnect and ground coil wire from distributor cap to prevent engine from starting. Connect remote starter switch between starter
solenoid terminal "S" and battery positive terminal. See Fig. 1
.
2. Using a digital voltmeter set on low scale, connect positive voltmeter to starter motor housing. Ensure connection point is clean and free
of rust and grease. Connect negative voltmeter lead to negative battery terminal.
3. Engage remote starter switch and crank engine. Observe and record voltmeter reading. Voltmeter should read .2 volt or less. If voltage
drop is greater than .2 volt, clean negative battery cable connections at battery and body connections. Retest to ensure problem has been
corrected.
4. If voltage drop is still excessive, replace negative battery cable(s) as necessary. If battery cables test okay, and starter still cranks slowly
or not at all, remove and repair starter motor.
BENCH TESTING
STARTER NO-LOAD TEST
Remove starter. Place starter on bench. Connect a fully charged 12-volt battery, voltmeter, ammeter and remote starter switch to starter. See
Fig. 4
. Engage remote starter switch. Starter should rotate smoothly. Ensure voltage and amperage draw is less than maximum specification at
5000 RPM minimum. See NO-LOAD TEST SPECIFICATIONS table. If voltage and/or amperage is higher than specifications, disassemble
starter and determine cause.

SOLENOID TEST
Disconnect wiring and cables from solenoid. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between terminal "M" and body of starter solenoid. See
Fig. 1
. Continuity should exist. If continuity does not exist, replace solenoid.
ARMATURE TEST
1. Place armature in growler. Turn on growler and hold a piece of hacksaw blade over armature. Slowly rotate armature. If hacksaw blade
is attracted to core or if it vibrates, replace armature.
2. Remove armature from growler. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity between commutator and core. If continuity exists, replace
armature. Check continuity between commutator and shaft. If continuity exists, replace armature.
3. Check continuity between each commutator segment. If an open exists between any 2 segments, replace armature.
COMMUTATOR TEST
1. Clean surface of commutator and polish with No. 400 grit sandpaper (if required). If surface is scored, out of round or pitted, turn
commutator on a lathe.
2. Maximum commutator runout and minimum diameter of commutator must not exceed specification after turning. See STARTER
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS table.
3. Commutator mica undercut depth should be .02-.03" (.5-.8 mm). If undercut depth is not within specification, undercut with a hacksaw
blade to standard depth.
BRUSH & SPRING TEST
1. Connect ohmmeter between positive brush holder and negative brush holder. If ohmmeter indicates continuity, brush holder assemb l y is
shorted and must be replaced.
2. Check brush length. See STARTER MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
table. If brush length is less than specification, replace brushes.
3. Check spring tension. Spring tension should be 2.0-4.3 Lbs. (8.8-19.1 N.m). Ensure brushes move freely in holders.
FIELD COIL TEST
1. Connect ohmmeter between field lead and soldered portion of brush lead. If continuity does not exist, repair or replace field coil.
2. Check field coil for shorts to ground by connecting ohmmeter between field lead and starter housing. If continuity exists, repair or
replace field coil.
