STARTER(for Valeo Made Cold Area Specification Vehicles) INSPECTION

Info Added 2017-10-06

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. A001W6X

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

      2. A001XXLC01
        *a Terminal 50
        *b Terminal C
        *c Starter Body
        B00495X Moves outward

        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 magnet starter switch assembly.

    2. Perform a hold-in test.


      1. A001XIZC01
        *a Terminal 50
        *b Terminal C
        *c Starter Body
        B00495X Disconnect

        While maintaining the battery connections of the pull-in test, 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 magnet starter switch assembly.

    3. Perform a return test.


      1. A001VL0C01
        *a Terminal 50
        *b Starter Body
        B00495X Disconnect
        B0049DE Returns inward

        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 magnet starter switch assembly.

    4. Perform a no-load performance test.


      1. A001W6X

        Connect the field coil lead wire to terminal C with the nut. Make sure that the field coil lead wire is not grounded.

        Torque:
        9.5 N*m  { 97 kgf*cm, 84 in.*lbf }

      2. Secure 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. A001SEVC01
        *a Terminal 50
        *b Terminal 30
        *c Starter Body
        B00495X Rotates

        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 110 A

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