1. INSPECT STARTER ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:
These tests must be performed within 3 to 5 seconds to prevent the coil from burning out.



  1. Perform pull-in/holding test.

    1. Remove the nut and disconnect the lead wire from terminal C.



    2. Connect the battery to the magnetic switch as shown in the illustration. Then check that the clutch pinion gear moves outward.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the starter assembly.



  1. Perform operation test without load.

    1. Connect the lead wire to terminal C with the nut.

      Torque:
      5.9 N*m{ 60 kgf*cm , 52 in.*lbf }

    2. Mount the starter in a vise.

    3. Connect the battery and ammeter to the starter as shown in the illustration.



    4. Check that the starter rotates smoothly and steadily while the pinion gear is moving outward. Then measure the current.

      Specified current:

      		Specified Condition
      2.0 kW
      		100 A or less at 11.5 V
      1.4 kW
      		90 A or less at 11.5 V
