Inspection [06/2017 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. INSPECT STARTER ASSEMBLY 
    WARNING:

    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. 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. 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 does not return inward, replace the magnet starter switch assembly.

    4. Perform a no-load performance test.
      1. Connect the field coil lead wire to terminal C with the nut. Make sure that the field coil lead wire is not grounded.

        Torque: 10 N*m (102 kgf*cm, 7 ft.*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.

        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.

  2. INSPECT STARTER ARMATURE ASSEMBLY 

    HINT: 

    If there is no continuity between any segments, replace the starter armature assembly.

    1. Check the commutator appearance.

      If the surface is dirty or burnt, restore it with sandpaper (400-grit) or on a lathe.

    2. Check the commutator for an open circuit.

      *a Segment
      1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        Segment - Segment Always Below 1 Ω

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

    3. Check the commutator for a short circuit.

      *a Segment
      *b Starter Armature Core
      1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        Segment - Starter armature core Always 10 kΩ or higher

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

    4. Check the commutator for runout.

      *a Armature Shaft
      1. Place the armature shaft on V-blocks.
      2. Using a dial indicator, measure the runout.

        Maximum Runout

        0.05 mm (0.00197 in.)

        If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the starter armature assembly.

    5. Using a vernier caliper, measure the commutator diameter.

      Standard Diameter

      29 mm (1.14 in.)

      Minimum Diameter

      28 mm (1.10 in.)

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

    6. Check that the undercut portion between the segments is free of foreign matter and measure its depth.

      Standard Undercut Depth

      0.7 mm (0.0276 in.)

      Minimum Undercut Depth

      0.2 mm (0.00787 in.)
