ASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS
.
>>A<< REGULATOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
After installing the regulator assembly, insert a wire through the
hole provided on the rear bracket while pressing down on the
brush, and secure the brush.
NOTE: By inserting a wire, the brush will be secured in place,
and the installation of the rotor will be easier.
.
>>B<< ROTOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
After installing the rotor, remove the wire used to secure the
brush.
INSPECTIONM1161001700099.
ROTOR CHECK
1. Check the continuity between the slip rings of the field coil. If
the resistance value is not within the standard value, replace
the rotor.
Standard value: approximately 2
5

2. Check the continuity between the slip ring and the core. If
there is continuity, replace the rotor.
.
STATOR CHECK
1. Check the continuity between the coil lead. If there is no
continuity, replace the stator.
2. Check the continuity between the coil and the core. If there
is continuity, replace the stator.
.
RECTIFIER CHECK
1. Check the continuity between the positive rectifier and the
stator coil lead connection terminal with a tester. If there is
continuity between the terminals, the diode is shorted, so
replace the rectifier.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL16-19
2. Check the continuity between the negative rectifier and the
stator coil lead connection terminal with a tester. If there is
continuity between the terminals, the diode is grounded, so
replace the rectifier.
3. Check the continuity of the three diodes by connecting an
ohmmeter to both ends of each diode. If there is continuity
between the directions, or if there is no continuity, the diode
is damaged, so replace the rectifier.
.
BRUSH CHECK
1. Replace the brush if the brush protrusion length shown in
the illustration is below the minimum limit value.
Minimum limit: 2 mm (0.08 inch)
2. The brush can be removed by unsoldering the brush lead
wire.
3. When installing a new brush, push the brush in to the brush
holder, and solder the lead wire.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
The starter motor does not operate at all.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.
Check the starter (coil).
Check for poor contact at the battery terminals and
starter.
Check the transmission range switch.
The starter motor doesn't stop
Check the starter (magnetic switch).
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The starting system troubleshooting guide is shown in the fol-
lowing steps.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.
STEP 1.
Q: Is the battery in good condition? (Refer to GROUP 54A,
Chassis Electrical
Battery On-vehicle Service
Battery Check P.54A-5.)
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Charge or replace the battery.
STEP 2.
Disconnect the starter motor S (solenoid) terminal connec-
tor.
Using a jumper wire, apply battery positive voltage to the
starter motor S (solenoid) terminal.
Check the engine condition.
OK: Turns normally
Q: Dose the starter motor operate normally?
YES :
Check the ignition switch (Refer to GROUP 54A,
Chassis Electrical
Ignition Switch Ignition
Switch
Inspection P.54A-44.)
Check the transmission range switch. (Refer to
GROUP 23A, Automatic Transaxle
On-vehicle
Service
Essential Service Transmission Range
Switch Check P.23A-294.)
Check the wire between the battery and starter
motor S (solenoid) terminal.
NO : Go to Step 3.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINT
.
<> STARTER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Remove the starter assembly from under the vehicle.
INSPECTIONM1162001100197.
PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal of the
magnetic switch.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal and
M-terminal.
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 sec-
onds) to prevent the coil from burning.
3. Set the switch to "ON", and the pinion will move out.
4. Check the pinion-to-stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a
feeler gauge.
Standard value: 0.5
2.0 mm (0.02 0.07 inch)
5. If the pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by adding or
removing gasket(s) between the magnetic switch and front
bracket.
.
MAGNETIC SWITCH PULL-IN TEST
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal of the
magnetic switch.
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 sec-
onds) to prevent the coil from burning.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal and
M-terminal.
3. If the pinion moves out, the pull-in coil is good. If it doesn't,
replace the magnetic switch.

OVERRUNNING CLUTCH CHECK
1. While holding the clutch housing, rotate the pinion. The drive
pinion should rotate smoothly in one direction, but should
not rotate in the opposite direction. If the clutch does not
function properly, replace the overrunning clutch assembly.
2. Inspect the pinion for wear or burrs. If the pinion is worn or
burred, replace the overrunning clutch assembly. If the
pinion is damaged, also inspect the ring gear for wear or
burrs.
.
FRONT AND REAR BRACKET BUSHING CHECK
Inspect the bushing for wear or burrs. If the bushing is worn or
burred, replace the front bracket assembly or rear bracket
assembly.
.
ARMATURE CHECK
1. Check that the armature coil is not grounded.
2. Place the armature in a growler.
3. Hold a thin steel blade parallel and just above while rotating
the armature slowly in the growler. A shorted armature will
cause a blade to vibrate and be attracted to the core.
Replace the shorted armature.
4. Check the insulation between the armature coil cores and
the commutator segments. They are normal if there is no
continuity.
5. Check for continuity between the segments. The condition is
normal if there is continuity.

IGNITION COIL CHECK M1163001200380
Check by the following procedure, and replace the coil if there
is a malfunction.
.
PRIMARY COIL AND IGNITION POWER
TRANSISTOR CONTINUITY CHECK
NOTE: No test can be performed on the Primary side of coil.
.
SECONDARY COIL CHECK
NOTE: It is impossible to check the secondary coil through the
continuity check as a diode is integrated in the secondary coil
circuit of this ignition coil. Accordingly, check the secondary coil
in the following procedure.
1. Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
2. Remove the ignition coil and install a new spark plug to the
ignition coil.
3. Connect the ignition coil connector.
4. Disable vehicle fuel pump by removing fuel pump relay or
disconnecting fuel pump connector D-18 (under rear seat).
5. Ground the side electrode of the spark plug and crank the
engine.
6. Check that spark is produced between the electrodes of the
spark plug.
7. If no spark is produced, replace the ignition coil with a new
one and recheck.
8. If spark is produced with the new ignition coil, replace the
old one as it is faulty. If no spark is produced again, the
ignition circuit is suspected as faulty. Check the ignition
circuit.
