Removal/lnstallation
SRS components are located in this area. Review lhe
SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section (24) before performing repairs or ser-
vice.
Removal:
1. Make sure you have the anti-lheft code for the radio
then write down the frequencies lor the radio's pre-
set buttons ('99 - 00 modelsl.
2. Disconnect the battery negative cable. then discon
nect the positive cable, and wait at least three min
utes,
3. Disconnect the airbag connectors (see section 24)'
4. Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover and
knee bolster (see section 20)
5. Remove the two mounting nuts, and pull the under
dash fuse/relay box out from under the dash'
6. Disconnect the connectors from the under-dash
fuse/relay box, and take out the under-dash fuse/
relay box (see section 24).
lnstallation:
1. Connect the connectors to the under-dash tuse/
relay box, then install the under dash fuse/relay box
in the reverse order of removal (see section 24)'
2. Install the driver's dashboard lower cover (see sec
tion 20).
3. Connect the airbag connectors {see section 24)
4. Connect the battery positive cable, then connect the
negative cable.
5. Enter the anti-theft code lor the radio, then enter the
customer's radio station presets ('99 - 00 models)'
6. Confirm that all sYstems work properly'

-Starter Test
NOTE; The air temoerature must be between 59 and
100'F (15 and 38"C) before testing.
Recommended Procedure:
. Use a staner system tester.
. Connect and operate the equipment in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
. Test and troubleshoot as described,
Alternate Procedurg:
. Use the following equipment:- Ammeter, 0 - 400 A
- Voltmeter, 0 - 20 V (accurate within 0.1 volt)
- Tachometer, 0 - 1,200 rpm
. Hook up a voltmeter and ammeter as shown.
NEGATIVETERMINAL
NOTE: After this test, or any subsequent repair. reset
the ECM/PCM to clear any codes (see section l1)
Check the Start€r Engagemont:
1. Remove the No. 44 (15 A) fuse from the under-hood
fuse/relay box,
2. Turn the ignition switch to START (llll with the shift
lever in E or E position (rVT) or with the clutch pedal
depressed {M/T). The starter should crank the engine.
. lf the starter does not crank the engine, go to
step 3.
. lf itcranksthe engineerraticallyortooslowly, go
to "Check for Wear and Damage" on the next
page.
Check the battery. battery positive cable, ground,
starter cut relay, and the wire connections for loose-
ness and corrosion, Test again.
lf the starter still does not crank the engine, go to
step 4,
Unplug the connector (BLK,/WHT wire and solenoid
terminal) from the starter,
Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive (+)
terminal to the solenoid terminal.
The starter should crank the engine.
. lf the starter still does not crank the engine,
remove it, and diagnose its internal problem
. lf the startercranksthe engine, goto step 6.
Check the ignition switch (see page 23-891.
Check the starter cut relay and clutch interlock switch
(see page 23-86,87).
Check the A/f gear position switch (see page 23-154).
Check for an open in the wire between the ignition
switch and starter.

Starter Test lcont'dl
Ch€ck tor Wear and Damage
The starter should crank the engine smoothly and
steadily, lf the starter engages. but cranks the engine
erratically, remove it, and inspect the starter drive gear
and torque converter or flywheel ring gear for damage.
. Check the drive gear overrunning clutch for binding
or slipping when the armature is rotated with the
drive gear held,- lf damaged. replace the gears.
Check Cranking Voltsge and Curr€nt Draw
Cranking voltage should be no less than 8.5 volts.
Current draw should be no more than 350 amperes.
lf cranking voltage is too low, or current draw too high,
check for;
. dead or low batterv.
. open circuit in starter armature commutator seg-
ments,
. starter armature dragging.
. shorted armature winding.
o excessive drag in engine.
Check Cranking rpm
Engine speed during cranking should be above 100 rpm,
lf speed is too low, check for:
. loose battery or stanerterminals.
. excessively worn starter brushes,
. open circuit in commutator segments.
o dirty or damaged helical spline or drive gear.
. defective drive gear overrunning clutch.
Check Siarter Disengag€ment
With the shift lever in El or @ position (A/T) or with the
clutch pedal depressed (M/T), turn the ignition switch to
START (lll), and release to ON (ll).
The starter drive gear should disengage from the torque
converter or flywheel ring gear when you release the
Key.
lf the drive gear hangs up on the torque converter or fly-
wheel ring gear, check for:
. solenoid plunger and switch malfunction,
. dirty drive gear assembly or damaged overrunning
clutch.
Starter Solenoid Test
1. Check the hold-in coil for continuitv between the S
terminal and the armature housing (ground). The
coil is OK if there is continuitv,

4. Check tor mica depth. lf necessary, undercut mica
with a hacksaw blade to achieve proper depth. l{ ser-

6. Place the armature on an armature tester. Hold a
hacksaw blade on the armature core.
ARMATURE TESTER
. lf the blade is attracted to the core or vibrates
while the core is turned, the armature is shorted.
Replace the armature.
7. Check with an ohmmeter that no continuity exists
between the commutator and armature coil core,
and between the commutator and armature shaft. lf
there is continuity, replace the armature.

1.Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the
radio, then write down the frequencies for the
radio's preset buttons ('99 - 00 models).
Disconnect the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the starter cable from the B terminal on
the solenoid, then disconnect the BLK trHT wire
from the S terminal.

Starter Reassembly
'1. Pry back each brush spring with a screwdriver, then
position the brush about halfway out of its holder.
and release the spring to hold it there.
Install the armature in the housing. Next, pry back
each brush spring again, and push the brush down
until it seats against the commutator, then release
the spring against the end of the brush.
