2004 STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS
Starters - Endeavor
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION If the ignition switch is turned to START position, current flows in the coil
provided inside magnetic switch, attracting the plunger. When plunger is attracted,
the lever connected to plunger is actuated to engage starter clutch. On the other
hand, attracting plunger will turn on magnetic switch, allowing "B" terminal and
"M" terminal to conduct. Thus, current flows to engage starter motor. When
ignition switch is returned to ON position after starting engine, starter clutch is
disengaged from ring gear.
An overrunning clutch is provided between pinion and armature shaft to prevent
damage to starter.
When the ignition switch is switched to the START position while the selector leve
r
is at the "P" or "N" range, the contact (magnetic switch) of the starter is switched
ON and the starter motor is activated.
ADJUSTMENT PINION GAP 1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the "M" terminal of magnetic switch.
2. Connect a 12V battery between "S" terminal and "M" terminal. See Fig. 1
.
3. Set switch to ON and pinion will move out.
4. Check the pinion to stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a feeler gauge. See
Fig. 2
.
5. If the pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by adding or removing gasket(s)
between the ma
gnetic switch and front bracket. CAUTION: To prevent coil from burning, DO NOT apply voltage
to starter assembly for more than 10 seconds.
