- Check for battery voltage at terminal 50 of starter motor with
key in start position. If voltage is not present, check wiring be-
tween ignition switch and starter terminal. Check the EWS
system and other inputs that disrupt terminal
56 to the start-
er. See ELE Electrical
Wiring Diagrams. If voltage is
present and no other visible wiring faults can be found, prob-
lem is most likely in starter motor.
Starter, removing and installing
(6-cylinder engine)
The starter is removed from below. Access to starter bolts is
difficult. Be sure to have the proper tools on hand before pro-
ceeding.
NOTE-
Access to the starter wiring is very limited. Forbetteraccess,
it may be necessary to remove the intake manifold.
- Disconnect negative (-) battery cable.
CAUTIOI\C

I Radiator and Cooling System
I I 4 The cooling cassette incorporates cooling coils for various
vehicle systems:
1. Steering fluid cooler
2. Transmission oil
coolel
3. AIC condenser
4 In V-8 cars produced after 911998 (M62 TU engine), the en-
gine radiator is divided into an upper chamber (about 80%)
and a lower chamber (about 20%). The ATF heat exchanger
is coupled to the lower chamber.
On cold engine start-up, the engine coolant is heated more
quicltly than the transmission fluid. Heat from engine coolant
is used to warm up the ATF faster, reducing drag in the trans-
mission and improving fuel mileage.
Once the ATF has reached normal operating temperature,
the ATF heat exchanger acts as cooling device. The lower
20% of the radiator
stays cooler than the upper chamber, so
the ATF is cooled more effectively.
4 M62 TU cooling system ducting at radiator:
1. Coolant distribution housing connection
2. Thermostat connection
3. Water cooled alternator connections
4. Transmission fluid heat exchanger connections

Steering and Wheel Alignment
Power assist is provided by a belt-driven pump at the lower
left front of the engine. The power steering fluid reservoir is lo-
cated at the left side of the engine compartment.
Power steering pump, removing and
installing
When working with power steering components, absolute
cleanliness is needed to ensure proper operation of the hy-
- Empty power steering fluid reservoir using clean syringe. Do
not reuse fluid.
- Raise front of car. Remove splash shield from under engine.
WARNING-
Make sure the car is firmly supported on jack stands de-
signed for the purpose. Place jack stands beneath structural
chassis points. Do not place jack stands under suspension
Darts.
Remove drive belt from power steering pump. See
020 Main-
tenance.
Remove alternator cooling duct
Remove fluid hoses from pump. Plug openings in pump and
hose ends.
Remove pump front mounting bolts
(A).
Remove fluid line support bracket (B)
Remove pump rear mounting bolt (arrow)
- Installation is reverse of removal, noting the following:
Make sure all thread bores, bolts, nuts, fluid couplings and
mating
surfaces are clean, and inside surface of multi-
ribbed-belt is free of grease and dirt.
Use new sealing washers when reattaching power steer-
ing pressure lines.
Make sure hoses have adequate clearance from chassis.
Install front pump fasteners.
