GENRATOR OUTPUT TEST
1. Perform the generator system test. Refer to ”Gen-
erator System Check”in this section.
2. Replace the generator if it fails that test. Refer to
”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service portion of
this section. If it passes the test, perform the on–
vehicle output check which follows.
Important : Always check the generator for output before
assuming that a grounded ”L” terminal circuit has dam-
aged the regulator.
3. Attach a digital multimeter, an ammeter, and a car-
bon pile load to the vehicle.
Important : Be sure the vehicle battery is fully charged,
and the carbon pile load is turned off.
4. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, check
and record the battery voltage.
5. Remove the harness connector from the generator.
6. Turn the ignition to RUN with the engine not run-
ning. Use a digital multimeter to check for voltage in
the harness connector ”L” terminal.
7. The reading should be near the specified battery
voltage of 12 volts. If the voltage is too low, check
the indicator
L" terminal circuits for open and
grounded circuits causing voltage loss. Correct any
open wires, terminal connections, etc., as neces-
sary. Refer to”Charging System” in this section.
8. Attach the generator harness connector.
9. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure
the voltage across the battery terminals. The read-
ing should be above that recorded in step 14, but
less than 16 volts. If the reading is over 16 volts or
below the previous reading, replace the generator.
Refer to”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service sec-
tion.
10. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure
the generator amperage output.
11. Turn on the carbon pile, and adjust it to obtain the
maximum amps while maintaining the battery volt-
age above 13 volts.
12. If the reading is within 15 amps of the generator’s
rating noted on the generator, the generator is
good. If not, replace the generator. Refer to”Gener-
ator” in the On–Vehicle Service section.
13. With the generator operating at the maximum out-
put, measure the voltage between the generator
housing and the battery negative terminal. The volt-
age drop should be 0.5 volt or less. If the voltage
drop is more than 0.5 volt, check the ground path
from the generator housing to the negative battery
cable.
14. Check, clean, tighten, and recheck all of the ground
connections.
GENERATOR SYSTEM CHECK
When operating normally, the generator indicator lamp will
come on when the ignition is in RUN position and go out
when the engine starts. If the lamp operates abnormally
or if an undercharged or overcharged battery condition oc-
curs, the following procedure may be used to diagnose the
charging system. Remember that an undercharged bat-
tery is often caused by accessories being left on overnight
or by a defective switch that allows a lamp, such as a trunk
or a glove box lamp, to stay on.
Diagnose the generator with the following procedure:
1. Visually check the belt and the wiring.
2. With the ignition in the ON position and the engine
stopped, the charge indicator lamp should be on. If
not, detach the harness at the generator and
ground the ”L” terminal in the harness with a 5–am-
pere jumper lead.
S If the lamp lights, replace the generator. Refer to
”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service section.
S If the lamp does not light, locate the open circuit
between the ignition switch and the harness
connector. The indicator lamp bulb may be
burned out.
3. With the ignition switch in the ON position and the
engine running at moderate speed, the charge indi-
cator lamp should be off. If not, detach the wiring
harness at the generator.
S If the lamp goes off, replace the generator. Re-
fer to ”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service
section.
S If the lamp stays on, check for a short to ground
in the harness between the connector and the
indicator lamp.
Important : Always check the generator for output before
assuming that a grounded ”L” terminal circuit has dam-
aged the regulator. Refer to”Generator” in the Unit Repair
section.

UNIT REPAIR
STARTER MOTOR
Disassembly Procedure
1. Remove the starter. Refer to ”Starter” in this sec-
tion.
2. Remove the starter through–bolts.
3. Remove the commutator end frame and brush
holder assembly.
4. Inspect the brushes, the pop–out springs, and the
brush holders for wear and damage. Replace the
assembly, if needed.
5. Check the armature to see if it turns freely. If the
armature does not turn freely, break down the as-
sembly immediately, starting with Step 14. Other-
wise, give the armature a no–load test.
Notice : Complete the testing in a minimum amount of
time to prevent overheating and damaging the solenoid.
Important : If the specified current draw does not include
the solenoid, deduct from the armature reading the speci-
fied current draw of the solenoid hold–in winding.
6. To begin the no–load test, close the switch and
compare the rpm, the current, and the voltage read-
ings with the specifications. Refer to ”Starter Speci-
fications” in this section. Make disconnections only
with the switch open. Use the test results as fol-
lows:

1E – 18IENGINE ELECTRICAL
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
1) Rated current draw and no–load speed indicate
a normal condition for the starter motor.
2) Low rpm combined with high current draw is an
indication of excessive friction caused by tight,
dirty, or worn bearings; a bent armature shaft;
a shorted armature; or a shorted field coils.
3) Failure to operate with high current draw indi-
cates a direct ground in the terminal or fields,
or ”frozen” bearings.
4) Failure to operate with no current draw indi-
cates an open field circuit, open armature coils,
broken brush springs, worn brushes, high in-
sulation between the commutator bars, or oth-
er causes which would prevent good contact
between the brushes and the commutator.
5) Low, no–load speed and low current indicate
high internal resistance and high current draw,
which usually mean shorted fields.
7. Remove the solenoid assembly screws.
8. Remove the field connector nut. Disconnect the
field connector.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL 1E – 19

9. Remove the plunger return spring.
Important : If the solenoid is not removed from the starting
motor, the connector strap terminals must be removed
from the terminal on the solenoid before making these
tests.
10. Test the solenoid windings by checking the current
draw.
1) Check the hold–in windings by connecting an
ammeter in series with a 12–volt battery, the
switch terminal, and to ground.
2) Connect the carbon pile across the battery.
3) Adjust the voltage to 10 volts. The ammeter
reading should be 13 to 19 amperes.Current will
decrease as the windings heat up. Current draw
readings that are over specifications indicate
shorted turns or a ground in the windings of the
solenoid. Both conditions require replacement of
the solenoid. Current draw readings that are un-
der specifications indicate excessive resistance.
No reading indicates an open circuit.
Important : Current will decrease as the windings heat up.
Current draw readings that are over specifications indicate
shorted turns or a ground in the windings of the solenoid.
Both conditions require replacement of the solenoid. Cur-
rent draw readings that are under specifications indicate
excessive resistance. No reading indicates an open cir-
cuit.
11. Check both windings, connecting them according to
the preceding test.
1) Ground the solenoid motor terminal.
2) Adjust the voltage to 10 volts. The ammeter
reading should be 59 to 79 amperes.
3) Check the connections and replace the sole-
noid, if necessary.
