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.

Automatic Transaxle.INSPECTION
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.)

MAGNETIC SWITCH RETURN TEST(1) Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.(2) Connect a 12 V battery between M-terminal and body.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning.(3) Pull pinion out and release. If pinion quickly returns to
its original position, everything is in order. If it doesn’t,
replace magnetic switch.
Caution
When pulling out the pinion, be careful not to have
your finger pinched.
STARTER RELAY(1) Remove the starter relay from the relay box.
(2)Connect battery to terminal 2 and check continuity between
terminals with terminal 4 grounded.

RING / STOP RING REMOVAL
(1) Press the stop ring, by using an appropriate socket,wrench, to the snap ring side.
(2)After removing the snap ring (by using snap-ring pliers),
remove the stop ring and the overrunning clutch.STARTER MOTOR PARTS CLEANING
1.Do not immerse parts in cleaning solvent. Immersing the
yoke and field coil assembly and/or armature will damage
insulation. Wipe these parts with a cloth only.
2.Do not immerse drive unit in cleaning solvent. Overrunning
clutch is pre-lubricated at the factory and solvent will wash
lubrication from clutch.3. The drive unit may be cleaned with a brush moistened
with cleaning solvent and wiped dry with a cloth.

4.Sand pigtail end with sandpaper to ensure good soldering.
Insert pigtail into hole provided in new brush and solder
it.Make sure that pigtail and excess solder do not come
out onto brush surface.
5.When replacing ground brush, slide the brush from brush
holder by prying retaining spring back.ARMATURE TEST
ARMATURE SHORT-CIRCUIT TEST
1. Place armature in a growler.
2.Hold a thin steel blade parallel and just above while rotating
armature slowly in growler. A shorted armature will causeblade to vibrate and be attracted to the core. Replace
shorted armature.
ARMATURE GROUNDING TESTCheck the insulation between the armature coil cores and
the commutator segments. They are normal if there is no
continuity.
ARMATURE COIL OPEN-CIRCUIT CHECK
Check for continuity between segments. The condition is nor-
mal if there is continuity.

OPERATIONl
Turn ignition switch to .“ON”position, and batteryvoltage will be applied to primary winding of
ignition coil.l
When crankshaft position sensor and camshaft
position sensor signal is input to engine control
module, engine control module makes ON-OFF
control of power transistors one by one.l When power transistor is turned on, current
flows from ignition coil (primary winding) to
ground through power transistor.l When power transistor A is turned from ON
to OFF, the spark plugs of No. 1 and No. 4
cylinders spark. Turning of power transistor B
from ON to OFF will produce sparking in spark
plugs of No. 2 and No. 5 cylinders. Furthermore,
when power transistor C is turned from ON toOFF, sparking is produced in spark plugs of
No. 3 and No. 6 cylinders.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS1. Engine cranks, but does not start.
(1) Spark is insufficient or does not occur at
all (on spark plug).l Check ignition coil.
l Check camshaft position sensor and
crankshaft position sensorl Check power transistor.
l Check spark plugs.
l Check spark plug cable.
(2) Spark is good.
l Check ignition timing.
2. Engine idles roughly or stalls.
l Check spark plugs.
l Check ignition timing.
l Check ignition coil.
l Check spark plug cable.
3. Poor acceleration
l Check ignition timing.
l Check spark plug cable.
l Check ignition coil.
