OPERATION
L
0For models equipped with the M/T, the clutch
pedal position switch contact is switched OFF
when the clutch pedal is depressed; when the
ignition switch is then switched to the “ST’ posi-tion, electricity flows to the starter relay and
the starter motor, the contact (magnetic switch)of the starter is switched ON and the starter
motor is activated.
NOTEIf the ignition switch is switched to the “ST
position without the clutch pedal being de-
pressed, electricity flows to the starter relay
(coil), the clutch pedal position switch (contacts)
and to ground, with the result that the contacts
of the starter relay are switched OFF, and, be-
cause the power to the starter motor is thereby
interrupted, the starter motor is not activated.lFor models equipped with the
AIT, when the
ignition switch is switched to the “ST’ position
while the selector lever is at the “P” or “N” posi-
tion, the contact (magnetic switch) of the starter
is switched ON and the starter motor is activated.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSThe starter motor does not operate at all.
l Check the starter (coil).
lCheck for poor contact at the battery terminals
and starter.l Check Park/Neutral position switch.
l Check clutch pedal position switch.
l Check starter relay.
l Check theft-alarm starter relay.
l Check key reminder switch.

PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT(1) Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.
(2)Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and M-terminal.(3) Set switch to “ON”, and pinion will move out.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning.(4) Check pinion to stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a
feeler gauge.
Standard value: 0.5-2.0 mm (.020-,079 in.)

CHECK
MEASUREMENT METHOD
(1) Clamp SECONDARY PICKUP around spark plug cable.
NOTE
1.The ignition voltage peak appears reversely betweenwhen the spark plug cables of the cylinders
No.4,
No. 5 and No. 6 are clamped and when those of thecylinders No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 are clamped.
2. Since the
2-cylinder simultaneous ignition system is
employed, the wave-form for two cylinder appears
group by group when the wave-form is observed.
(Cylinder No. 1- cylinder No. 4, cylinder No. 2 -cylinder No. 5 and cylinder No. 3
- cylinder No. 6
as the respective groups) Here, the wave-form is
observed for the cylinder whose spark plug cable is
clamped with the secondary pickup.(2) Clamp the spark plug cable with the trigger pickup.
NOTE
1. Clamp the spark plug cable of the cylinders No.1,
No. 2 or No. 3 which belongs to the same group of
the cylinders clamped with the secondary pickup.2. Though it is difficult to isolate the cylinder of the
wave-form, the wave-form of the cylinders clampedwith the secondary pickup is stable. Use this as a
reference for isolation.

MEASUREMENT METHOD
(1)Remove the ignition coil connector and connect the special
tool (harness connector: MD998464) in between.
(2) When observing the No. 1 - No. 4 cylinder group, connectthe primary pickup of the analyzer probe to the ignition
coil side connector terminal No. 2 (black clip on the special
tool).
For the No. 2 - No. 5 cylinder group, connect to terminal
No. 1 (red clip), and for the No. 3

(3) Ground the primary pickup ground terminal.
(4) Clamp the spark plug cable with the trigger pickup.
NOTE(1) Clamp the spark plug cable of cylinder No. 1, No.

cylinder to which the primary pickup is connected.
(2) The wave-form of any cylinder in the same group
