STARTER(w/ Stop And Start System) INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT STARTER ASSEMBLY

   CAUTION:

   As a large electric current passes through the cable during this inspection, a thick cable must be used. If not, the cable may become hot and cause injury.

   Note:

   Perform each of the following tests within 3 to 5 seconds to prevent the coil from burning out.

   1. Perform a pull-in test.

      1. 

         Remove the nut, and disconnect the field coil lead wire from terminal C.

      2. 

         *a	Starter Body
         *b	Terminal C
         *c	Terminal 50

         Connect a battery to the magnet starter switch assembly as shown in the illustration. Check that the clutch pinion gear moves outward.

         If the clutch pinion gear does not move outward, replace the starter assembly.

   2. Perform a hold-in test.

      1. 

         *a	Starter Body
         *b	Terminal C
         *c	Terminal 50

         While maintaining the battery connections of the pull-in test above, disconnect the negative (-) lead from terminal C. Check that the clutch pinion gear does not return inward.

         If the clutch pinion gear returns inward, replace the starter assembly.

   3. Check return operation.

      1. 

         *a	Starter Body
         *b	Terminal C
         *c	Terminal 50

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

         If the clutch pinion gear does not return inward, replace the starter assembly.

   4. Perform a no-load performance test.

      1. 

         Connect the field coil lead wire to terminal C with the nut.

         9.8 N*m

         100 kgf*cm

         87 in.*lbf

      2. Hold the starter assembly in a vise between aluminum plates.

         Note:

         Ensure that the starter assembly is secured in the vise to prevent it from falling out.

      3. 

         *a	Starter Body
         *b	Terminal 30
         *c	Terminal 50

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

         Note:

         Do not allow any lead to get caught as the clutch pinion gear operates.

      4. Check that the starter assembly operates smoothly and steadily while the clutch pinion gear is moving outward.

         Measure the current according to the value(s) in the table below.

         Standard Current

         Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
         Battery positive terminal - Terminal 30 - Terminal 50	11.5 V	Below 90 A

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