Starting System: Inspection

INSPECT STARTER ASSY
NOTE: These tests must be performed within 3 to 5 seconds to prevent the coil from burning out.
1. Perform the pull-in/holding test.
  1. Disconnect the field coil lead wire from terminal C.
  2. Connect the battery to the magnetic switch as shown in Fig 1.

  7. Check that the clutch pinion gear returns inward.
2. Perform the operation test without load.
  1. Connect the battery and ammeter to the starter as shown in Fig 4.
  2. Check that the starter rotates smoothly and steadily while the pinion gear is moving outward. Then measure the current.
    Specified current: 100 A or less at 11.5 V

  If the result is not as specified, replace the switch assy.

INSPECT RELAY (Marking: STARTER)

Measure the resistance of the STARTER relay.

Standard:

INSPECT RELAY (MARKING: STARTER)

Tester Connection	Specified Condition
3 - 5	10 k ohms or higher
3 - 5	Below 1 ohms (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)
