1. INSPECT STARTER

NOTICE:

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

1. Perform pull-in/holding test.

   1. 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.

   3. With the battery connected as above with the clutch pinion gear out, disconnect the negative (-) lead from terminal C. Check that the pinion gear remains out.

   4. Disconnect the negative (-) lead from the starter body. Check that the clutch pinion gear returns inward.
      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.

      Torque:
        9.8 N*m{ 100 kgf*cm , 87 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 out. Then measure the current.

      Specified current:
        90 A or less at 11.5 V
      If the result is not as specified, replace the starter assembly.
