1998 NISSAN PICK-UP Repair Manual

Brush spring pressure
Check brush spring pressure with brush spring detached from
brush.
Spring pressure (with new brush):
Refer to SDS, EL-33.
lNot within the specified values ... Replace.
Brush holder
1. Perform insulation test between brush holder (positive side)
and its base (negative side).
lContinuity exists. ... Replace.
2. Check brush to see if it moves smoothly.
lIf brush holder is bent, replace it; if sliding surface is dirty,
clean.
YOKE CHECK
Magnet is secured to yoke by bonding agent. Check magnet to
see that it is secured to yoke and for any cracks. Replace mal-
functioning parts as an assembly.
CAUTION:
Do not clamp yoke in a vice or strike it with a hammer.
ARMATURE CHECK
1. Continuity test (between two segments side by side).
lNo continuity ... Replace.
2. Insulation test (between each commutator bar and shaft).
lContinuity exists. ... Replace.
3. Check commutator surface.
lRough ... Sand lightly with No. 500 - 600 emery paper.

4. Check diameter of commutator.
Commutator minimum diameter:
Refer to SDS, EL-33.
lLess than specified value ... Replace.
5. Check depth of insulating mold from commutator surface.
lLess than 0.2 mm (0.008 in) ... Undercut to 0.5 to 0.8 mm
(0.020 to 0.031 in)
Assembly
Apply high-temperature grease to lubricate the bearing, gears
and frictional surface when assembling the starter.
Carefully observe the following instructions.
PINION PROTRUSION LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
Clearance ``!''
With pinion driven out by magnetic switch, push pinion back to
remove slack and measure clearance ``!'' between the front edge
of the pinion and the pinion stopper.
Clearance ``!'':
Refer to SDS, EL-33.

Movement ``!''
Compare movement ``!'' in height of pinion when it is pushed out
with magnetic switch energized and when it is pulled out by hand
until it touches stopper.
Movement ``!'':
Refer to SDS, EL-33.
lNot in the specified value ... Adjust by adjusting plate.

Trouble Diagnoses
Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and
suitable test probes are necessary for the test. The alternator can be checked easily by referring to the
Inspection Table.
lBefore starting, inspect the fusible link.
lUse fully charged battery.

lWhen field circuit is open, check condition of rotor coil, rotor slip ring and brush. If necessary,
replace faulty parts with new ones.
Malfunction indicator

symptoms occur while alternator is operating:
lField circuit is open.
lExcessive voltage is produced.
