OPERATION
When engine is stoppedWhen the ignition switch is switched to the “ON”
position, electricity flows from the
‘I” terminal of
the generator to the field coil, and at the same time
the charging warning light illuminates.
When engine is being started/has started
When the engine is started, charging voltage is ap-
plied to the ‘I” terminal of the generator, with the
result that the charging warning light is extinguished.
In addition, because battery voltage is applied to
the “S” terminal of the generator, this battery voltage
is monitored at the
IC voltage regulator, thus switch-ing ON and OFF the current to the field coil and
thereby controlling the output voltage of the genera-
tor.
Power is supplied to each load from the “B” terminal
of the generator.
NOTE
The generator relay functions as a back-up for the
flow of electricity to the field coil if there is a discon-
nection or damaged wiring of the charging warning
light.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS1. Charging warning light does not go on when
the ignition switch is turned to “ON”, before the
engine starts.l Check the bulb.
2.Charging warning light fails to go off once the
engine starts.l
Check the IC voltage regulator (located with-
in the generator).
3. Discharged or overcharged battery.l
Check the IC voltage regulator (located with-
in the generator).4. The charging warning light illuminates dimly.
l Check the diode (within the combination
meter) for a short-circuit.

ABNORMAL WAVE-FORMS EXAMPLES
NOTE
1.The size of the wave-form patterns differs largely depending on the adjustment of the variable knob
on the analyzer.
2.Identification of abnormal wave-forms is easier when there is a large output current (regulator is not
operating). (Wave-forms can be observed when the headlights are illuminated.)
3.Check the conditions of the charge light (illuminated/not illuminated) also, and carry out a total check.

ROTOR
(1) Check field coil for continuity. Check to ensure that there
is continuity between slip rings.If resistance is extremely small, it means that there is
a short. If there is no continuity or if there is short circuit,
replace rotor assembly.
Resistance value : Approx. 3-5 Q
(2) Check field coil for grounding. Check to ensure that thereis no continuity between slip ring and core. If there is
continuity, replace rotor assembly.
STATOR
(1) Make continuity test on stator coil. Check to ensure that
there is continuity between coil leads.
If there is no continuity, replace
stator assembly.
(2) Check coil for grounding. Check to ensure that there is
no continuity between coil and core. If there is continuity,
replace stator assembly.
RECTIFIERS
(1) Positive Rectifier Test
Check for continuity between positive rectifier and stator
coil lead connection terminal with a circuit tester. If there
is continuity in both directions, diode is shorted. Replace
rectifier assembly.

(2) Negative Rectifier Test
Check for continuity between negative rectifier and stator
coil lead connection terminal. If there is continuity in both
directions, diode is shorted, and rectifier assembly must
be replaced.
(3) Diode Trio Test
Check three diodes for continuity by connecting an amme-
ter to both ends of each diode. If there is no continuity
in both directions, diode is faulty and
heatsink assembly
must be replaced.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
(1) Replace brush by the following procedures if it has been
worn to limit line.
(2) Unsolder pigtail and remove old brush and spring.
(3) Install brush spring and new brush in brush holder.(4) Insert the brush to where there is a space 2 to 3 mm
(.079 to .118 in.) between the limit line and the end of
the brush holder.

OPERATION
L
0For models equipped with the M/T, the clutch
pedal position switch contact is switched OFF
when the clutch pedal is depressed; when the
ignition switch is then switched to the “ST’ posi-tion, electricity flows to the starter relay and
the starter motor, the contact (magnetic switch)of the starter is switched ON and the starter
motor is activated.
NOTEIf the ignition switch is switched to the “ST
position without the clutch pedal being de-
pressed, electricity flows to the starter relay
(coil), the clutch pedal position switch (contacts)
and to ground, with the result that the contacts
of the starter relay are switched OFF, and, be-
cause the power to the starter motor is thereby
interrupted, the starter motor is not activated.lFor models equipped with the
AIT, when the
ignition switch is switched to the “ST’ position
while the selector lever is at the “P” or “N” posi-
tion, the contact (magnetic switch) of the starter
is switched ON and the starter motor is activated.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSThe starter motor does not operate at all.
l Check the starter (coil).
lCheck for poor contact at the battery terminals
and starter.l Check Park/Neutral position switch.
l Check clutch pedal position switch.
l Check starter relay.
l Check theft-alarm starter relay.
l Check key reminder switch.

(3) If pinion moves out, then pull-in coil is good. If it doesn’t,
replace magnetic switch.
MAGNETIC SWITCH HOLD-IN TEST(1) Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.(2) Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and body.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning.(3) Pull out the pinion by hand until it comes into contact
with the pinion stopper.
(4)If pinion remains out, everything is in order. If pinion moves
in, hold-in circuit is open. Replace magnetic switch.
FREE RUNNING TEST
(1) Place starter motor in a vise equipped with soft jaws andconnect a fully-charged
12-volt battery to starter motor
as follows:
(2) Connect a test ammeter (loo-ampere scale) and carbon
pile rheostat in series with battery positive post and starter
motor terminal.
(3) Connect a voltmeter (15volt scale) across starter motor.
(4) Rotate carbon pile to full-resistance position.
(5)Connect battery cable from battery negative post to starter
motor body.(6) Adjust rheostat until the battery voltage shown by the
voltmeter is 11 V.
(7) Confirm that the maximum amperage is within the specifi-
cations and that the starter motor turns smoothly and freely.
Current: Max. 90 Amps

(1) Press the stop ring, by using an appropriate socket,wrench, to the snap ring side.
(2)After removing the snap ring (by using snap-ring pliers),
remove the stop ring and the overrunning clutch.STARTER MOTOR PARTS CLEANING
1.Do not immerse parts in cleaning solvent. Immersing the
yoke and field coil assembly and/or armature will damage
insulation. Wipe these parts with a cloth only.
2.Do not immerse drive unit in cleaning solvent. Overrunning
clutch is pre-lubricated at the factory and solvent will wash
lubrication from clutch.3. The drive unit may be cleaned with a brush moistened
with cleaning solvent and wiped dry with a cloth.

ARMATURE SHORT-CIRCUIT TEST
1. Place armature in a growler.
2.Hold a thin steel blade parallel and just above while rotating
armature slowly in growler. A shorted armature will causeblade to vibrate and be attracted to the core. Replace
shorted armature.
ARMATURE GROUNDING TESTCheck the insulation between the armature coil cores and
the commutator segments. They are normal if there is no
continuity.
ARMATURE COIL OPEN-CIRCUIT CHECK
Check for continuity between segments. The condition is nor-
mal if there is continuity.
