STARTING SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATIONM1162000100202
If the ignition switch is turned to the "START"
position, current flows in the pull-in and holding coils
provided inside magnetic switch, attracting the
plunger, When the plunger is attracted, the lever
connected to the plunger is actuated to engage the
starter clutch.
On the other hand, attracting the plunger will turn on
the magnetic switch, allowing the "B" terminal and
"M" terminal to conduct. Thus, current flows to
engage the starter motor.When the ignition switch is returned to the "ON"
position after starting the engine, the starter clutch is
disengaged from the ring gear.
An overrunning clutch is provided between the pinion
and the armature shaft, to prevent damage to the
starter.

2. Measure the diameter of the commutator.
Standard value: 29.4 mm
Limit: 28.8 mm
3. Measure the depth of the undercut between
segments.
Standard value: 0.5 mm
Limit: 0.2 mm
BRUSH HOLDER
Push the brush into the brush holder to make sure
that the spring is working on the brush.
If the spring is not working, replace the brush holder.
OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
1. Make sure that the pinion cannot be turned
counterclockwise and can be turned clockwise
freely.
2. Check the pinion for abnormal ware and damage.
BRUSHES
1. Check the commutator contacting surface of each
brush for abnormal roughness. Also check the
height of the brush. Replace the brush holder if
the height is lower than the limit.
Limit: 7.0 mm
2. When the contact surface of the brush is rectified
or the brush holder is replaced, recondition the
contact surface with sandpaper wrapped around
the commutator.
ARMATURE COIL
1. Check the armature coil for short circuit as

COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-60
STEP 9. Check the wiring harness between
combination meter connector C-04 (terminal 1
and 2) and earth.
Q: Are the wiring harness between combination meter
connector C-04 (terminal 1 and 2) and earth in
good condition?
YES :
This procedure is complete.
NO : Repair or replace the wiring harness. Check
to see that all meters operate.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SPEEDOMETER CHECKM1543000900423
Adjust the pressure of tyres to the specified level.
(Refer to GROUP 31, On-vehicle Service P.31-7.)
CAUTION
Do not operate the clutch suddenly. Do not
increase/decrease speed rapidly while testing.
1. Set the vehicle onto a speedometer tester and
use wheel chocks to hold the rear wheels.2. To prevent the front wheel from moving from side
to side, attach tension bars to the tie-down hook,
and secure both ends to anchor plates.
3. To prevent the vehicle from moving, attach a chain
or wire to the rear retraction hook, and make sure
the end of the chain or wire is secured.
4. Check if the speedometer indicator range is within
the standard values.
Standard value:
5. If not to the standard value, inspect for proper tyre
size. If not correct, replace the tyres with original
size tyres and retest. If correct, replace the
speedometer. If still not to standard value, replace
the vehicle speed sensor.
TACHOMETER CHECKM1543001000434
1. Attach an external high quality tachometer to the
engine speed detection connector on the harness
side (such as with a paper clip).
