RECTIFIERS CHECK
1. Inspect the (+) heat sink by checking the continuity
between the (+) heat sink and stator coil lead wire
connection terminal using a tester probe.
If there is a continuity at both, the diode is short circuited,
so replace the rectifier.
2. Inspect the ( - ) heat sink by checking the continuity
between the ( - ) heat sink and stator coil lead wire
connection terminal using a tester probe.
If there is a continuity at both, the diode is short circuited,
so replace the rectifier.
3. Check the diode trio by connecting an ohmmeter to both
ends of each diode and check the continuity of the three
diodes.
If there is a continuity at both ends, or if there is no
continuity, the diode is damaged so replace the rectifier.
BRUSH CHECK
1. Measure the length of the brush protrusion shown in the
illustration, and replace the brush if the measured value
is below the limit value.
Limit: 2 mm or less
2. The brush can be removed if the solder of the brush
lead wire is removed.
3. When installing a new brush, insert the brush into the
holder as shown in the illustration, and then solder the
lead wires.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL -Starting System16-17
STARTING SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
If the ignition switch is turned to the “START”
position, current flows in the pull-in and holding
coils provided inside magnetic switch, attracting
the plunger. When the plunger is attracted, the
lever connected to the plunger is actuated to
engage the starter clutch.
On the other hand, attracting the plunger will turn
on the magnetic switch, allowing the B terminaland M terminal to conduct. Thus, current flows to
engage the starter motor.
When the ignition switch is returned to the “ON”
position after starting the engine, the starter clutch
is disengaged from the ring gear.
An overrunning clutch is provided between the
pinion and the armature shaft, to prevent damage
to the starter.

OVERRUNNING CLUTCH CHECK
1. While holding clutch housing, rotate the pinion. Drive
pinion should rotate smoothly in one direction, but should
not rotate in opposite direction. If clutch does not function
properly, replace overrunning clutch assembly.
2. Inspect pinion for wear or burrs. If pinion is worn or burred,
replace overrunning clutch assembly. If pinion is damaged,
also inspect ring gear for wear or burrs.
FRONT AND REAR BRACKET BUSHING CHECK
Inspect bushing for wear or burrs. If bushing is worn or burred,
replace front bracket assembly or rear bracket assembly.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
1. Check the surface contacting the commutator for
roughness and the brush length.
Limit value: 7.0 mm
2. If the limit is exceeded, replace the brush holder.
ARMATURE TEST
ARMATURE COIL SHORT-CIRCUIT TEST
1. Check that the armature coil is not grounded.
2. Place armature in a growler.
3. Hold a thin steel blade parallel and just above while rotating
armature slowly in growler. A shorted armature will cause
blade to vibrate and be attracted to the core. Replace
shorted armature.
ARMATURE COIL EARTH TEST
Check the insulation between each commutator segment and
armature coil core.
If there is no continuity, the insulation is in order.

FRONT AXLE -General Information26-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
The front axle consists of front hubs, knuckles,
wheel bearings and drive shafts, and it has the
following features.
DThe wheel beearing is unit bearing integrated
with hub (Double-row angular contact ball
bearing).
DThe drive shaft incorporates B.J.-T.J. type
constant velocity joints with high transmission
efficiency and low vibration and noise.DABS rotors for detecting the wheel speeds are
press-fitted to the B.J. outer wheels in vehicles
with ABS or ACD.
