STARTER (for 2.7 kW Type) INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT STARTER ASSEMBLY

    A01DYN0E01

    CAUTION:

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


    1. Perform pull-in test.


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

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

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

        A01DVWKE01

    2. Perform holding test.


      1. When the battery is connected as above with the clutch pinion gear out, disconnect the negative (-) lead from terminal C. Check that the pinion gear remains out.

        If the clutch pinion gear moves inward, replace the magnet starter switch assembly.

    3. Inspect clutch pinion gear return.


      1. 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.

      2. Mount the starter in a vise between aluminum plates.

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

        A01DWELE01

      4. Check that the starter rotates smoothly and steadily while the pinion gear is moving outward. Then measure the current.

        Standard current

    2. A01DVU8

      Inspect circle runout.


      1. Place the armature on V-blocks.

      2. Using a dial gauge, measure the circle runout.

        Maximum circle runout
        0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)

        If the circle runout is greater than the maximum, replace the commutator assembly.

    3. A01E2VA

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the commutator diameter.

      Standard diameter
      36.0 mm (1.417 in.)
      Minimum diameter
      35.0 mm (1.378 in.)

      If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the armature assembly.

    4. A01E20M

      Measure the undercut depth of the commutator.

      Standard undercut depth
      0.7 mm (0.028 in.)
      Minimum undercut depth
      0.2 mm (0.008 in.)

      If the under cut depth is less than the minimum, correct it with a hacksaw blade.

    5. Inspect the armature bearings.


      1. Check that the armature bearings rotate smoothly.

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

  3. INSPECT STARTER YOKE ASSEMBLY


    1. A01E0W1

      Inspect the field coil for an open circuit.


      1. Measure the resistance between the lead wire and field coil brush lead.

        Standard resistance
        Below 1 Ω

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

    2. A01DX4J

      Inspect the ground.


      1. Measure the resistance between the lead wire and starter yoke body, and between the brushes and starter yoke body

        Standard resistance
        10 kΩ or higher

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

  4. INSPECT BRUSH


    1. A01DX1TE01

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the brush length.

      Standard length
      20.5 mm (0.814 in.)
      Minimum length
      11.0 mm (0.433 in.)

      If the length is less than the minimum, replace the starter brush holder assembly and starter yoke assembly.

  5. INSPECT STARTER BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY

      Minimum spring load
      18.6 N (1.9 kgf, 4.2 lbf)

      If the spring load is less than the minimum, replace the brush spring.

  6. INSPECT STARTER CLUTCH SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A01DX5QE01

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