Steering Lock Replacement
SRS components are located in this area. Review theSRS component locations. precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section (24) before performing repairs or ser-vtce.
Remove:
LMake sure you have the anti-theft code for theradio, then wire down the frequencies for theradio's preset buttons ('99 - 00 models).
Disconnect the battery negative cable.
Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover andknee bolster (see section 20).
Disconnect the 5P connector from the under-dash
fuse/relay box and the 7P connector from the mainwire harness (see previous page).
Remove the steering column covers, then removethe mounting bolts and nuts from the steering col-umn (see section l7).
Lower the steering column assembly,
Center-punch each of the two shear bolts, then drilltheir heads off with a 5 mm (3/16 in) dritt bit.
CAUTION: Do not damago the steering lock body.
Remove the shear bolts and the steering lock assem,oty.

Starting System
Starter Test lcont'dl
Ch€ck tor Wear and Damage
The starter should crank the engine smoothly and
steadily, lf the starter engages. but cranks the engine
erratically, remove it, and inspect the starter drive gear
and torque converter or flywheel ring gear for damage.
. Check the drive gear overrunning clutch for binding
or slipping when the armature is rotated with the
drive gear held,- lf damaged. replace the gears.
Check Cranking Voltsge and Curr€nt Draw
Cranking voltage should be no less than 8.5 volts.
Current draw should be no more than 350 amperes.
lf cranking voltage is too low, or current draw too high,
check for;
. dead or low batterv.
. open circuit in starter armature commutator seg-
ments,
. starter armature dragging.
. shorted armature winding.
o excessive drag in engine.
Check Cranking rpm
Engine speed during cranking should be above 100 rpm,
lf speed is too low, check for:
. loose battery or stanerterminals.
. excessively worn starter brushes,
. open circuit in commutator segments.
o dirty or damaged helical spline or drive gear.
. defective drive gear overrunning clutch.
Check Siarter Disengag€ment
With the shift lever in El or @ position (A/T) or with the
clutch pedal depressed (M/T), turn the ignition switch to
START (lll), and release to ON (ll).
The starter drive gear should disengage from the torque
converter or flywheel ring gear when you release the
Key.
lf the drive gear hangs up on the torque converter or fly-
wheel ring gear, check for:
. solenoid plunger and switch malfunction,
. dirty drive gear assembly or damaged overrunning
clutch.
Starter Solenoid Test
1. Check the hold-in coil for continuitv between the S
terminal and the armature housing (ground). The
coil is OK if there is continuitv,

a spring scale to the spring. Measure the spring ten-
sion at the moment the spring lifts off the brush.

Brush Inspection
Measure the brush length. lf not within the service limit,
replace the brush (or brush holder assembly).
Brush Length
NOTE: To seat new brushes after installing them in their
holders, slip a strip ot #500 or #600 sandpaper. with the
grit side up, over the commutator and smoothly rotate
the armature. The contact surface of the brushes will be
sanded to the same contour as the commutator.
Overrunning Clutch lnspection
Slide the overrunning clutch along the shaft. Does it
move freely? lf not, replace it.
Rotate the overrunning clutch both ways. Does it
lock in one direction and rotate smoothly in
reverse? lf it does not lock in either direction or it
locks in both directions, replace it.

Starter Reassembly
'1. Pry back each brush spring with a screwdriver, then
position the brush about halfway out of its holder.
and release the spring to hold it there.
Install the armature in the housing. Next, pry back
each brush spring again, and push the brush down
until it seats against the commutator, then release
the spring against the end of the brush.

-lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
1.Check the idle speed, and adjust it it necessary (see
section 'l '1 ).
Pull out the service check connector 2P (BRN and BLK
wires) from the connector holder located under the
dash on the front passenger side, then connect the
SCS service connector (T/N 07PAZ - 0010'100) to it.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm with
no load {A,/T in E or E. M/T in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect the timing light to the No. 1 ignition wire,
then point the light toward the pointer on the timing
belt cover.
Check the ignition timing in no load conditions:
headlights. blower fan, rear window defogger, and
air conditioner are not operating.

lnstallation:
NOTE: Before you install the distributor. bring the No. 1
piston to compression stroke TDC.
1. Coat a new O-ring with engine oil, then install it.
2. Slip the distributor into position
NOTE: The lug on the end of the distributor and its
mating grooves in the camshaft end are both offset
to eliminate the possibility of installing the distribu-
tor 180" out of time.
3. Installthe mounting bolts, and tighten them lightly.

JRectifier Removal
1. Remove the four through bolts.
Heat the rear bearing seat with a 1,000 W hair drier
tor about five minutes (120 - 140'F, 50 - 60"C).
3. Separate the rear housing from the drive-end hous-
ing by inserting a flst tip screwdriver into the open-
ings and prying them a part. Be careful not to dam-
age the stator with the tip of the screwdraver.
Seoarate the rear housing and drive-end housing
with the stator attached to the rear housing.

Rectifier Removal (cont'd)
Separate the rear housing from the stator/rectifier
assembly by removing the four screws and the ter-minal nut.
TERMINAL NUT
Unsolder the rectifier from the stator leads,. To avoid damaging the diodes with heat, pinch
the stator leads between pliers to carry heat off,and apply the soldering iron only long enough toseparate the leads from the rectifier.. Use a 100 W soldering iron.
STATOR SOLDERING
7. Install the new rectifier in the reverse order of removal.. Apply the soldering iron only long enough toensure a good connection so the heat will notdamage the diodes.
a Use only a rosin core type solder or solder joints
will corrode.

Rectifier Test
NOTE: The diodes are designed to allow current to pass
in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direc-tion. Since the alternator rectifier is made up of ninediodes, each diode must be tested for continuity in bothdirections with an ohmmeter that has diode checkinocapability; a total of 18 checks.
1. Check for continuity in each direction between- the B and P terminals.- the B'and P terminals.- E {ground) and the P terminals.
All diodes should have continuity in only one direc-UOn.
lf any of the diodes fails, replace the rectifier assem-bly, (Diodes are not available separately.)
