6D3-2 STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM
Starting System
General Description
Cranking Circuit
The cranking system consists of a battery, starter, starter
switch, starter relay, etc. These main components are
connected.
Starter
The cranking system employs a magnetic type reduction
starter in which the motor shaft is also used as a pinion shaft.
W hen the starter switch is turned on, the contacts of magnetic
switch are closed, and the armature rotates. At the same time,
the plunger is attracted, and the pinion is pushed forward by
the shift lever to mesh with the ring gear.
Then, the ring gear runs to start the engine. W hen the engine
starts and the starter switch is turned off, the plunger returns,
the pinion is disengaged from the ring gear, and the armature
stops rotation. W hen the engine speed is higher than the
pinion, the pinion idles, so that the armature is not driven.
Service Precaution
CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location.
When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part
number for that application. ISUZU will call out those
fasteners that require a replacement after removal. ISUZU
will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers
or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do
not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener
joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect
the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts
and systems.

Inspection and Repair
Repair or replace necessary parts if extreme wear or damage
is found during inspection.
Armature
Check for continuity between commutator and segment.
Replace commutator if there is no continuity (i.e.,
disconnected).
Check for continuity between commutator and shaft.
Also, check for continuity between commutator and armature
core, armature core and shaft. Replace commutator if there is
continuity (i.e., internally grounded).
Brush
Measure the length of brush.
Replace with a new one, if it is below the limit.
Brush Holder
Check for continuity between brush holder (+) (4) and base (-).
Replace, if there is continuity (i.e., insulation is broken).
Magnetic Switch
Check for continuity of shunt coil between terminals S and M.
Replace, if there is no continuity (i.e., coil is disconnected).
Continuity of Series Coil
Check for continuity between terminals S and M.
Replace, if there is no continuity (i.e., coil is disconnected).

Continuity of Contacts
W ith the plunger faced downward, push down the magnetic
switch. In this state, check for continuity between terminals B
and M. Replace, if there is no continuity (i.e., contacts are
faulty).
Pinion
Check if the pinion rotates smoothly in drive direction by hand,
or if it is locked when it is rotated in reverse. If not, replace the
pinion.
Characteristic Test
For easily confirming the characteristics, conduct the noload
test as follows:
Rating as short as 30 seconds requires rapid testing.
Fix the starter on the test bench, and wire as shown in
illustration. W hen the switch is closed, the current flows and
the starter runs under no load. At this time, measure current,
voltage and speed to check if they satisfy the standard.

Charging System
General Description
The charging system is an IC integral regulator charging
system and its main components are connected as shown in
illustration.
The regulator is a solid state type and it is mounted along with
the brush holder assembly inside the generator installed on the
rear end cover.
The generator does not require particular maintenance such as
voltage adjustment. The rectifier connected to the stator coil
has eight diodes to transform AC voltage into DC voltage.
This DC voltage is connected to the output terminal of
generator.

General On-Vehicle Inspection
The operating condition of charging system is indicated by the
charge warning lamp. The warning lamp comes on when the
starter switch is turned to "ON" position. The charging system
operates normally if the lamp goes off when the engine starts.
If the warning lamp shows abnormality or if undercharged or
overcharged battery condition is suspected, perform diagnosis
by checking the charging system as follows:
1. Check visually the belt and wiring connector.
2. W ith the engine stopped, turn the stator switch to "ON" position and observe the warning lamp.
If lamp does not come on:
Disconnect wiring connector from generator, and ground the terminal "L" on connector side.
If lamp comes on:
Repair or replace the generator.
