3) After assembling parts correctly, make sure starter operates properly.
4) Armature short-circuit test Check armature for short-circuit by placing it on growler tester. Hold a hacksaw blade against armature core while slowly rotating armature. A short-circuited armature will cause the blade to vibrate and to be attracted to core. If the hacksaw blade is attracted or vibrates, the armature, which is short-circuited, must be replaced or repaired.
E: INSPECTION
S179012A10
1. ARMATURE
S179012A1001
1)  Check commutator for any sign of burns of rough surfaces or stepped wear. If wear is of a minor nature, correct it by using sand paper.
2)   Run-out test
Check the commutator run-out and replace if it exceeds the limit.
Commutator run-out: Standard
0.05 mm (0.0020 in) Service limit
Less than 0.10 mm (0.0039 in)
for_01_19-18.jpg

(A)     Iron sheet
(B)    Grower
5) Armature ground test
Using circuit tester, touch one probe to the com­mutator segment and the other to shaft. There should be no continuity. If there is a continuity, armature is grounded. Replace armature if it is grounded.
(A) V-block
3) Depth of segment mold Check the depth of segment mold.
Depth of segment mold: 0.5 mm (0.020 in)

2. YOKE S179012A1002
Make sure pole is set in position. 3. OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
S179012A1003
Inspect teeth of pinion for wear and damage. Replace if it is damaged. Rotate pinion in direction of rotation (counterclockwise). It should rotate smoothly. But in opposite direction, it should be locked.
CAUTION:
Do not clean overrunning clutch with oil to pre­vent grease from flowing out.

Terminal / Specified resistance: S - M/ Less than 1 Q S - Ground / Less than 1 D. M-B/More than 1 MQ
1) Brush length
Measure the brush length and replace if it exceeds
the service limit.
Replace if abnormal wear or cracks are noticed.
Brush length: Standard
12.3 mm (0.484 in) Service limit
7.0 mm (0.276 in)

6. SWITCH ASSEMBLY OPERATION
S179012A1006
1)  Connect terminal S of switch assembly to posi­tive terminal of battery with a lead wire, and starter body to ground terminal of battery. Pinion should be forced endwise on shaft.
CAUTION:
With pinion forced endwise on shaft, starter motor can sometimes rotate because current flows, through pull-in coil, to motor. This is not a problem.
2)   Disconnect connector from terminal M, and connect positive terminal of battery and terminal M using a lead wire and ground terminal to starter body.
In this test set up, pinion should return to its origi­nal position even when it is pulled out with a screw­driver.
(A)    Service limit line
(B)     Brush
2)   Brush movement
Be sure brush moves smoothly inside brush holder.
3)   Brush spring force
Measure brush spring force with a spring scale. If it is less than the service limit, replace brush holder.
Brush spring force: Standard
21.6 N (2.2 kgf, 4.9 lb) (when new) Service limit
5.9 N (0.6 kgf, 1.3 lb)
for_01_19-24.jpg
5. SWITCH ASSEMBLY
S179012A1005
Be sure there is continuity between terminals S and M, and between terminal S and ground. Use a circuit tester (set in "ohm"). Also check to be sure there is no continuity between terminal M and B.

(B)    Terminal M

7. PINION GAP S179012A1007
1) Measure pinion gap while the pinion is pulled out as shown in the figure.
Pinion gap:
0.5-2.0 mm (0.020 - 0.079 in)
for_01_19-25.jpg
for_01_19-26.jpg
(A)    Variable resistance
(B)     Magnetic switch
(C)    Starter body
1)   No-load test
With switch on, adjust the variable resistance to obtain 11 V, take the ammeter reading and mea­sure the starter speed. Compare these values with the specifications.
No-load test (Standard):
Voltage / Current 11 V/90 A max.
Rotating speed MT vehicles
2,800 rpm or more AT vehicles
2,400 rpm or more
2)   Load test
Apply the specified braking torque to starter. The condition is satisfactory if the current draw and starter speed are within specifications.
Load test (Standard):
Voltage / Load MT vehicles
7.5 V/8.6 Nm (0.88 kgf-m, 6.4 ft-lb) AT vehicles
7.7 V/16.0 Nm (1.63 kgf-m, 11.8 ft-lb)
Current / Speed MT vehicles
300 A/920 rpm or more AT vehicles
400 A/740 rpm or more
(A)     Pinion
(B)    Gap
(C)    Stopper
If motor is running with the pinion forced endwise on the shaft, disconnect connector from terminal M of switch assembly and connect terminal M to ground terminal (-) of battery with a lead wire. Next, gently push pinion back with your fingertips and measure pinion gap.
2) If pinion gap is outside specified range, remove or add number of adjustment washers used on the mounting surface of switch assembly until correct pinion gap is obtained.
8. PERFORMANCE TEST
S179012A1008
The starter should be submitted to performance
tests whenever it has been overhauled, to assure
its satisfactory performance when installed on the
engine.
Three performance tests, no-load test, load test,
and lock test, are presented here; however, if the
load test and lock test cannot be performed, carry
out at least the no-load test.
For these performance tests, use the circuit shown
in figure.
SC-10

3) Lock test
With starter stalled, or not rotating, measure the torque developed and current draw when the volt­age is adjusted to the specified voltage.
Lock test (Standard):
Voltage / Current MT vehicles
4 V/650 A or less AT vehicles
3.5 V/940 A or less
Torque MT vehicles
14.7 Nm (1.50 kgf-m, 10.8 ft-lb) or more AT vehicles
