INSPECTION
1. INSPECT STARTER ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
These tests must be performed within 3 to 5 seconds
to avoid burning out the coil.
(a) Perform the pull-in test.
(1) Disconnect the lead wire from terminal C.
(2) Connect the battery to the magnetic switch
assembly as shown in the illustration. Check
that the clutch pinion gear extends.
If the clutch pinion gear does not move, replace
the magnetic switch assembly.
(b) Perform the hold-in test.
(1) Maintain the battery connections of the pull-in
test above, but disconnect the negative (-) lead
from terminal C. Check that the pinion gear
remains extended.
If the clutch pinion gear returns inward, replace
the magnetic switch assembly.
(c) Check the clutch pinion gear return.
(1) Disconnect the negative (-) lead from the
switch body. Check that the clutch pinion gear
returns.
If the clutch pinion gear does not return,
replace the magnetic switch assembly.
(d) Perform the no-load performance test.
(1) Connect the lead wire to terminal C. Make sure
that the lead is not grounded.
Torque: 10 N*m (102 kgf*cm, 7 ft.*lbf)
(2) Clamp the starter in a vise.
(3) Connect the battery and an ammeter to the
starter as shown in the illustration.
(4) Check that the starter rotates smoothly and
steadily while the pinion gear is moving out.
Then measure the current.
Standard current:
90 A or less at 11.5 V
If the test result is not as specified,
overhaul the starter assembly.
