1. Reposition the rubber boot from the terminal.
2. Remove the nut from the solenoid terminal.
3. Disconnect the cable from the terminal.
7. Remove the starter mo tor securing bolts.
1. Remove the upper securing bolt. Preferably, use a short 13 mm spanner or a Snap On Half Moon
spanner CMX1113 to initially loosen the bolt. (Refer
to the next step).
2. Remove the lower securing bolt.
3. Carefully remove the starter motor.

• NO
TE: When performing electrical voltag
e or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to 3
decimal places, and with an up-t o-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the
DMM leads into account.
• NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic ro utines involving pinpoint tests.

Yes

CAUTIO
N: When probing connectors to take
measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit,
part number 3548-1358-00.
• NOTE: When performing electrical voltag e or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to 3
decimal places, and with an up-t o-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the
DMM leads into account.
• NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic ro utines involving pinpoint tests.
