InspectionEKS0031L
MAGNETIC SWITCH CHECK

Before starting to check, disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.

Disconnect “M” terminal of starter motor.
1. Continuity test (between “S” terminal and switch body).

No continuity... Replace.
2. Continuity test (between “S” terminal and “M” terminal).

No continuity... Replace.
PINION/CLUTCH CHECK
1. Inspect pinion teeth.

Replace pinion if teeth are worn or damaged. (Also check
condition of ring gear teeth.)
2. Inspect reduction gear teeth (If equipped).

Replace reduction gear if teeth are worn or damaged. (Also
check condition of armature shaft gear teeth.)
3. Check to see if pinion locks in one direction and rotates
smoothly in the opposite direction.

If it locks or rotates in both directions, or unusual resistance is
evident.... Replace.
BRUSH CHECK
Brush
Check wear of brush.

Excessive wear... Replace.

Brush Spring Check
Check brush spring tension with brush spring detached from brush.

Not within the specified values... Replace.
Brush Holder
1. Perform insulation test between brush holder (positive side) and
its base (negative side).

Continuity exists.... Replace.
2. Check brush to see if it moves smoothly.

If 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 malfunctioning
parts as an assembly.
CAUTION:
Do not clamp yoke in a vice or strike it with a hammer.Spring tension
(with new brush): Refer to SDS. SC-34, "

5. Check depth of insulating mold from commutator surface.

Less than 0.2 mm (0.008 in)... Undercut to 0.5 to 0.8 mm
(0.020 to 0.031 in).
AssemblyEKS0031M
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 (QR engine models)
With pinion driven out by magnetic switch, push pinion back to
remove slack and measure clearance “L” between the front edge of
the pinion and the pinion stopper.

Not in the specified value... Adjust by adjusting plate.

COMBINATION METERS

COMBINATION METERSPFP:24814
System DescriptionEKS00EGZ
UNIFIED CONTROL METER

Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled by the
unified meter control unit, which is built into the combination meter.

Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.*
*The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter
is erased when the battery cable is disconnected.

Odo/trip meter segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.

Meter/gauge can be checked in diagnosis mode.
HOW TO CHANGE THE DISPLAY FOR ODO/TRIP METER

The vehicle speed signal and the memory signals from the meter memory circuit are processed by the
combination meter and the mileage is displayed.

Ambient temperature indicator indicates signal from ambient sensor processed by combination meter.

Depressing the odo/trip meter switch toggles the mode in the following order.

The odo/trip meter display mode toggling and trip display resetting can be identified by the amount of time
that elapses from pressing the odo/trip meter switch to releasing it.

When resetting with trip A displayed, only trip A display is reset (Trip B operates the same way).
POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
Power is supplied at all times

through 10A fuse [No. 28, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 1.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 11, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminals 2.
Ground is supplied

to combination meter terminals 21

through body grounds M27 and M70.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
ECM provides an engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter for water temperature gauge with
CAN communication line.
