6D1-4 ENGINE ELECTRICAL

Battery Charging
Observe the following safety precautions when charging the
battery:
1. Never attempt to charge the battery when the fluid level is
below the lower level line on the side of the battery. In this
case, the battery must be replaced.
2. Pay close attention to the battery during charging procedure.
Battery charging should be discontinued or the rate o
f
charge reduced if the battery feels hot to the touch.
Battery charging should be discontinued or the rate o
f
charge reduced if the battery begins to gas or spew
electrolyte from the vent holes.
3. In order to more easily view the hydrometer blue dot or ring, it may be necessary to jiggle or tilt the battery.
4. Battery temperature can have a great effect on batter
y
charging capacity.
5. The sealed battery used on this vehicle may be either quick charged or slow charged in the same manner as othe
r
batteries.
W hichever method you decide to use, be sure that you completely charge the battery. Never partially charge the
battery.































Jump Starting
Jump Starting with an Auxiliary (Booster)
Battery
CAUTION: Never push or tow the vehicle in an attempt to
start it. Serious damage to the emission system as well as
other vehicle parts will result.
Treat both the discharged battery and the booster battery
with great care when using jumper cables.
Carefully follow the jump starting procedure, being careful
at all times to avoid sparking.
WARNING: FAILURE TO CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE JUMP
STARTING PROCEDURE COULD RESULT IN THE
FOLLOWING:
1. Serous personal injury, particularly to your eyes.
2. Property damage from a battery explosion, battery acid, o
r
an electrical fire.
3. Damage to the electronic components of one or both vehicles particularly.
Never expose the battery to an open flame or electrical spark.
Gas generated by the battery may catch fire or explode.
Remove any rings, watches, or other jewelry before working
around the battery. Protect your eyes by wearing an approved
set of goggles.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with your eyes or
skin.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with fabrics or
painted surfaces.

4.3 Starter Motor Bench Tests
Preliminary Checks
1 Check the drive assembly is fully retracted.
2 Check the drive assembly pinion turns freely on the planetary drive shaft.
3 Perform the No Load Test (as outlined in this Section) if the drive assembly is not fully retracted.
4 Disassemble and service the starter motor if it fails the No Load test, refer to 4.4 Starter Motor Disassemble and
Reassemble in this Section.
Pull-in Test
1 Clamp the starter motor, by the mounting lug in the drive-end housing, in a vice with soft jaws.
2 Remove the nut (1) and washer (2) from the solenoid switch M terminal (3).
3 Remove the braided cable (4) from the solenoid switch M terminal.
Figure 6D1-2 – 14
4 Connect the starter motor to an auxiliary battery, as follows:
a Connect the test lead (1) between the battery negative post to the solenoid switch M terminal
(3).
b Connect the test lead (2) battery positive post.
5 Momentarily hold the free end of test lead (2) to solenoid switch terminal P – 3.
6 Check the solenoid switch activates and the drive assembly moves outward.
7 Disassemble and service the starter motor if the solenoid switch activates but the drive assembly
does not move, refer to 4.4 Starter Motor
Disassemble and Reassemble in this Section.
8 Replace the solenoid switch if it does not activate (there is no sound or movement).

Hold-in Test
1 Connect the starter motor to an auxiliary battery, as
follows:
a Connect the test lead (1) between the battery negative post to the solenoid switch M
terminal.
b Connect the test lead (2) from the battery positive post to solenoid switch terminal
P – 3.
c Connect the test lead (3) to the starter motor casing.
2 Disconnect the test lead (1) from the M terminal of the solenoid switch.
3 Check the drive assembly remains extended.
4 Replace the solenoid switch if the drive assembly returns back into the starter motor.
Figure 6D1-2 – 16
Drive Assembly Return Test
1 Connect the starter motor to an auxiliary battery, as follows:
a Connect the test lead (1) between the battery negative post to the solenoid switch M
terminal.
b Connect the test lead (2) from the battery positive post to solenoid switch terminal
P – 3.
c Connect the test lead (3) to the starter motor casing.
2 Disconnect the test lead (1) from the M terminal of the solenoid switch.
3 Disconnect the negative lead (2) from the starter motor casing.
4 Check the drive assembly returns back into the starter motor.
5 Replace the solenoid switch if the drive assembly does not retract.
