12. Do the STARTING TEST with the alternator, regulator battery & starter tester.
NOTE: The probe is used for starter testing.
Go to step 13.
Replace the starter, or remove and
disassemble it, and check for these problems:
Draginthestarterarmature
Short in the armature winding
Excessive drag in the engine
Open circuit in starter armature commutator segments
Excessively worn starter brushes
Open circuit in the starter brushes
Dirty or damaged helical splines or drive gear
Faulty overrunning clutch
13. Remove the starter, and inspect its drive gear and the flywheel ring gear (M/T model) or the torque
converter ring gear (A/T model) for damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
14. Select ECM/PCM reset (see page 11-4) in the PGM- FI INSPECTION menu to cancel ALL INJECTORS
STOP with the HDS. 1. Disconnect the clutch interlock switch 2P connector
(A).
2. Remove the clutch interlock switch (B).
3. Check for continuity between the terminals accordingtothetable.
If the continuity is not as specified, replace the clutch interlock switch (see page 12-8).
If OK, install the clutch interlock switch, and adjust the pedal height (see page 12-8).

14. While holding the drive gear (A), turn the gear shaft (B) counterclockwise. Check that the drive
gear comes out to the other end. If the drive gear
does not move smoothly, replace the gear cover
assembly.
15. While holding the drive gear, turn the gear shaft clockwise. The gear shaft should turn freely. If the
gear shaft does not turn freely, replace the gear
cover assembly.
16. If the drive gear is worn or damaged, replace the overrunning clutch assembly; the gear is not
available separately.
Check the condition of the flywheel ring gear (M/T
model), or the torque converter ring gear (A/T
model) to see if the starter drive gear teeth are
damaged. 17. Install the brush into the brush holder, and set the
armature (A) in the brush holder (B).
NOTE: To seat the new brushes, slip a strip of 500
or 600 sandpaper, with the grit side up, between
the commutator and each brush, and smoothly turn
the armature. The contact surface of the brushes
will be sanded to the same contour as the
commutator.
18. While squeezing a spring (C), insert it in the hole on the brush holder, and push it until it bottoms.
Repeat this for the other three springs (D, E, and F).
19. Install the armature and the brush holder assembly into the housing.
NOTE: Make sure the armature stays in the holder.

gap (B) is out of specification. Use only the listed
spark plugs.
NOTE: Do not adjust the gap of iridium tip plugs.
4. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the plug threads, and screw the plugs into the
cylinder head, finger-tight. Torque them to 18 N·m
