TROUBLE SHOOTING STARTER MOTOR DOES NOT OPERATE
Check the starter (coil). Check for poor contact at the battery terminals and starter. Check the transmission ran
ge switch.
WARNING:Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after
handling.

STARTER MOTOR DOES NOT STOPCheck the magnetic switch. ON-VEHICLE TESTING STARTER MOTOR DOES NOT OPERATE 1. Is the battery in good condition? If Yes, go to the next step. If No, then charge
or replace battery.
2. Disconnect the starter motor "S" (solenoid) terminal connector. Using a jumper
wire, apply battery positive voltage to starter motor "S" (solenoid) terminal.
Does starter motor operate normally? If Yes, then check ignition switch,
transmission range switch and the line between the battery and starter motor
"S" (solenoid) terminal. If No, then go to the next step.
3. Check if the cable between starter "B" (battery) terminal and battery positive
terminal for connection and continuity. Is the starter cable in good condition? I
f
Yes, then go to the next step. If No, then repair or replace the cable.
4. Check the connection and continuity of the cable between starter motor body
and the negative battery terminal. Is the ground line in good condition? If Yes,
then go to the next step. If No, then repair or replace cable.
5. Is the starter motor in good condition? If Yes, problem is excessive rotational
resistance of the engine. If No, then replace the starter motor.
BENCH TESTING MAGNETIC SWITCH PULL-IN TEST 1. Disconnect field coil wire from "M" terminal of the magnetic switch. See Fig.
3 . WARNING:Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
CAUTION: To prevent coil from burning, DO NOT apply voltage
to starter assembly for more than 10 seconds.
