- DIAGNOSTICSENGINE
1996 TERCEL (RM440U)
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check spark plug and spark of misfiring cylinder.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the high-tension cord or ignition coil.
(b) Remove the spark plug.
CHECK:
(a) Check plug type.
(b) Check for carbon deposits on electrode.
(c) Check electrode gap.
OK:
(1) Twin ground electrodes type.
Recommended spark plug:
ND: K16TR11
NGK: BKR5EKB-11
(2) No large carbon deposit present.
Not wet with gasoline or oil.
(3) Electrode gap: 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.039 - 0.043 in.)
PREPARATION:
(a) Install the spark plug to the high-tension cord or ignition
coil.
(b) Disconnect the injector connector.
(c) Ground the spark plug.
CHECK:
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cracked.
NOTICE:
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors
during this test, do not crank the engine for more than 5 -
10 seconds at a time.
OK:
Spark jumps across electrode gap.
NG Replace or check ignition system (See page
IG-1).

7. INSPECT FIELD COIL FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between the
lead wire and field coil brush lead.
If there is no continuity, replace the field frame.
8. INSPECT FIELD COIL FOR GROUND
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between
the field coil end and field frame.
If there is continuity, replace the field frame.
9. INSPECT BRUSH LENGTH
Using a vernier caliper, measure the brush length.
Standard length: 13.5 mm (0.531 in.)
Minimum length: 8.5 mm (0.334 in.)
If the length is less than minimum, replace the brush holder and
field frame.
10. INSPECT BRUSH SPRING LOAD
Take the pull scale reading the instant the brush spring sepa-
rates from the brush.
Standard spring installed load:
17.6 - 23.5 N (1.79 - 2.39 kgf, 4.0 - 5.3 lbf)
Minimum spring installed load:
11.8 N (1.2 kgf, 2.6 lbf)
If the installed load is not as specified, replace the brush
springs.
11. INSPECT BRUSH HOLDER INSULATION
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between
the positive (+) and negative (-) brush holders.
If there is continuity, repair or replace the brush holder.
12. INSPECT GEAR TEETH
Check the gear teeth on the pinion gear, idle gear and the clutch
assembly for wear or damage.
If damaged, replace the gear or clutch assembly.
If damaged, also check the drive plate ring gear for wear or
damage.

13. INSPECT CLUTCH PINION GEAR
Rotate the pinion gear clockwise, and check that it turns freely.
Try to rotate the pinion gear counterclockwise and check that
it locks.
If necessary, replace the clutch assembly.
14. INSPECT REAR BEARING
Turn each bearing by hand while applying inward force.
If resistance is felt or the bearing sticks, replace the bearing.
15. INSPECT FRONT BEARING
Turn each bearing by hand while applying inward force.
If resistance is felt or the bearing sticks, replace the bearing.
16. DO PULL-IN COIL OPEN CIRCUIT TEST
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between ter-
minals 50 and C.
If there is no continuity, check and replace the magnetic switch.
17. DO HOLD-IN COIL OPEN CIRCUIT TEST
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between ter-
minal 50 and the switch body.
If there is no continuity, check and replace the magnetic switch.

(f) Temporarily tighten the terminal nuts.
(g) Tighten the terminal nut.
(1) Put a wood block on the contact plate and press it
down with a hand press.
Dimensions of wood block:
20 x 37 x 40 mm (0.97 x 1.46 x 1.57 in.)
Press force:
981 N (100 kgf, 221 lbf)
NOTICE:
Check the diameter of the hand press ram. Then cal-
culate the gauge pressure of the press when 981 N
(100 kgf, 221 lbf) of force is applied.
If the contact plate is not pressed down with the spe-
cified pressure, the contact plate may tilt due to coil
deformation or the tightening of the nut.
(2) Using SST, tighten the nut to the specified torque.
SST 09810-38140
Torque: 17 N´m (173 kgf´cm, 12 ft´lbf)
NOTICE:
If the nut is over tightened, it may cause cracks on the in-
side of the insulator.
(h) Clean the contact surfaces of the contact plate and plung-
er.
Clean the contact surfaces of the remaining contact plate
and plunger with a dry shop rag.
(i) Reinstall the magnetic switch end cover.
Install the plunger, new gasket, end cover and lead clamp
with 3 bolts.
Torque: 3.6 N´m (36 kgf´cm, 32 in.´lbf)
