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. Otherwise, the cable may become hot and cause injury.

    Note

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

    Tech Tips

    When replacing the starter assembly, it is necessary to replace the ST1 relay and ST2 relay.


    1. Mount the starter assembly in a vise between aluminum plates.

    2. Perform a no-load performance test.


      1. A01SG9AC01
        *a Starter Body
        B0068HS Moves Outward

        Connect the positive (+) lead to terminal SL1.

      2. Connect the negative (-) lead to the starter body and check that the clutch pinion gear moves outward.

        Note

        Be careful when connecting the leads, as the starter assembly may be damaged if the leads are connecting to the wrong locations.

        If the clutch pinion gear does not extend, replace the starter assembly, ST1 relay and ST2 relay.

      3. A01SGJ6C01
        *a Starter Body
        B0068HS Return Inward
        B006964 Disconnect

        With the clutch pinion gear in the outward position, disconnect the negative (-) lead and check that the clutch pinion gear returns inward.

        If the clutch pinion gear does not return inward, replace the starter assembly, ST1 relay and ST2 relay.

      4. A01SGPBC01
        *a Starter Body

        Connect the positive (+) lead to terminal SL2 of the connector and the negative (-) lead to the starter body. Check that a clicking sound is heard from the starter motor.

        Note

        Be careful when connecting the leads, as the starter assembly may be damaged if the leads are connecting to the wrong locations.

        If the result is not as specified, replace the starter assembly, ST1 relay and ST2 relay.

      5. Connect the battery and an ammeter (AC/DC 400A probe) to the starter assembly as shown in the illustration.

        A01SK4ZC01
        *a Terminal 30 *b Starter Body
        *c AC/DC 400A Probe - -

        Note

        Be careful when connecting the leads, as the starter assembly may be damaged if the leads are connecting to the wrong locations.

      6. Connect the negative (-) battery cable and measure the current after the ammeter (AC/DC 400A probe) reading has stabilized.

        Current criteria
        160 A or less at 11 V

        Tech Tips

        When replacing the starter assembly, it is necessary to replace the ST1 relay and ST2 relay.

        If the result is not as specified, replace the starter assembly, ST1 relay and ST2 relay.

    3. Check the starter clutch.


      1. A01SH1WC01
        B0068HS Free
        B006964 Lock

        Rotate the clutch pinion gear clockwise and check that it turns freely. Try to rotate the clutch pinion gear counterclockwise and check that it locks.

        Tech Tips

        When replacing the starter assembly, it is necessary to replace the ST1 relay and ST2 relay.

        If the result is not as specified, replace the starter assembly, ST1 relay and ST2 relay.
