Disco nnect the field coil wire f r om th e M-te rmin al
of the magnet ic switch.
2.Conn ect a 12-volt b a ttery between the S-termina l
an d M-t e rminal.
CAUTION
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) 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

5. If the pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by adding or removing gasket(s) between the
magnetic switch and front bracket.

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 M-terminal.
3. If the pinion moves out, the pull-in coil is good. If it doesn't, replace the magnetic switch.

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.

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 c able 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

2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the M-terminal and body.
WARNING
Be careful not to ge t 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.
