7. Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II/III (Refer to
GROUP 11A − On-vehicle Service − Idle speed
check <4G1> P.11A-11 or GROUP 11C −
On-vehicle Service − Idle speed check <4G6>
P.11C-11).
8. Leave the hood open.
9. Check that the reading on the voltmeter is equal
to the battery voltage.
NOTE: If the voltage is 0 V, the cause is probably
an open circuit in the wire or fusible link between
the alternator "B" terminal and the battery (+)
terminal.
10.Turn the light switch on to turn on headlamps and
then start the engine.
11.Immediately after setting the headlamps to high
beam and turning the heater blower switch to the
high revolution position, increase the engine
speed to 2,500 r/min and read the maximum
current output value displayed on the ammeter.
Limit: 70 % of normal current outputNOTE: .
•For the nominal current output, refer to the
Alternator Specifications.
•Because the current from the battery will soon
drop after the engine is started, the above step
should be carried out as quickly as possible in
order to obtain the maximum current output
value.
•The current output value will depend on the
electrical load and the temperature of the
alternator body.
•If the electrical load is small while testing, the
specified level of current may not be output
even though the alternator is normal. In such
cases, increase the electrical load by leaving
the headlamps turned on for some time to
discharge the battery or by using the lighting
system in another vehicle, and then test again.
•The specified level of current also may not be
output if the temperature of the alternator body
or the ambient temperature is too high. In such
cases, cool the alternator and then test again.
12.The reading on the ammeter should be above the
limit value. If the reading is below the limit value
and the alternator output wire is normal, remove
the alternator from the engine and check the
alternator.
13.Run the engine at idle after the test.
14.Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
15.Remove the tachometer or the MUT-II/III.
16.Disconnect the negative battery cable.
17.Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
18.Connect the negative battery cable.

MAGNETIC SWITCH HOLD-IN TEST
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal
of the magnetic switch.
CAUTION
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal
and body.
3. Manually pull out the pinion as far as the pinion
stopper position.
4. If the pinion remains out, everything is in order. If
the pinion moves in, the hold-in circuit is open.
Replace the magnetic switch.
FREE RUNNING TEST
1. Place the starter motor in a vise equipped with
soft jaws and connect a fully-charged 12-volt
battery to the starter motor as follows:
2. Connect a test ammeter (100-ampere scale) and
carbon pile rheostat in series between the battery
(+) terminal and starter motor terminal.
3. Connect a voltmeter (15-volt scale) across the
starter motor.
4. Rotate the rheostat to full-resistance position.
5. Connect the battery cable from the battery (-)
terminal to the starter motor body.
6. Adjust the rheostat until the battery voltage shown
on the voltmeter is 11 V.
7. Confirm that the maximum amperage is within the
specifications and that the starter motor turns
smoothly and freely.
Current:
<4G1> maximum 95 Amps
<4G6> maximum 90 Amps

MAGNETIC SWITCH RETURN TEST1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal
of the magnetic switch.
CAUTION
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the M-terminal
and body.
WARNING
Be careful not to get your fingers caught
when pulling out the pinion.
3. Pull the pinion out and release. If the pinion
quickly returns to its original position, everything is
operating properly. If it doesn't, replace the
magnetic switch.

2. Set the armature in a growler.
CAUTION
Clean the surface of the armature thoroughly
before performing the test.
3. While holding a thin strip of iron against the
armature in parallel with its axis, turn the armature
slowly. The armature is normal if the iron strip is
not attracted to the armature or it does not vibrate.
4. Check the insulation between commutator
segments and armature coils. The armature coils
are properly insulated if no continuity is present.
5. Check continuity between a segment and another.
There is no open circuit in the tested coil if there is
continuity.
MAGNETIC SWITCH
1. Coil open circuit test
•Check that there is continuity between the M
terminal and body A.
•If there is no continuity, replace the magnetic
switch.
2. Contact fusion check
•Check that there is no continuity between the B
terminal and M terminal.
•If there is continuity, replace the magnetic switch.
3. Switch contact check
•Push the indicated end of the magnetic switch
with a strong force to close the internal contacts.
Without releasing the switch end, check that
there is continuity between the B terminal and M
terminal.
•If there is no continuity, replace the magnetic
switch.
