STARTER INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT STARTER ASSEMBLY

    Note

    These tests must be performed within 3 to 5 seconds to prevent the coil from burning out. Use a thick cable for carrying a large electric current.


    1. Perform pull-in / holding test.


      1. A01CHRIE01

        Pull off the dust protector cap.

      2. Remove the nut and disconnect the lead wire from terminal M.

      3. A01CIINE01

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

      4. A01CHUUE01

        Disconnect the negative (-) lead from terminal M. Check that the pinion gear remains out.

      5. A01CHALE01

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

        If the result is not as specified, repair or replace the starter motor housing assembly.

    2. Perform operation test without load.


      1. A01CHRIE01

        Connect the lead wire to terminal M.

        Torque:
        14 N*m  { 138 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf }

      2. Using a vise and aluminum protection plates, fix the starter assembly.

      3. A01CI05E01

        Connect the battery and an ammeter to the starter with terminal C disconnected, as shown in the illustration.

        Note

        Do not connect terminal C to the battery in step (3).

      4. Connect terminal C to the battery and check that the starter rotates smoothly and steadily while the pinion gear is out. Then measure the current.

        Standard current
        180 A or less at 23 V

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