MAGNETIC SWITCH HOLD-IN TEST
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal of the
magnetic switch.
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 sec-
onds) to prevent the coil from burning.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal and body.
3. Manually pull out the pinion as far as the pinion stopper
position.
4. If the pinion remains out, everything is operating properly. If
the pinion moves in, the hold-in circuit is open. Replace the
magnetic switch.
.
FREE RUNNING TEST
1. Place the starter motor in a vise equipped with soft jaws and
connect a fully-charged 12-volt battery to the starter motor
as follows:
2. Connect a test ammeter (100-ampere scale) and carbon pile
rheostat in series between the positive battery terminal and
starter motor terminal.
3. Connect a voltmeter (15-volt scale) across the starter motor.
4. Rotate the rheostat to full-resistance position.
5. Connect the battery cable from the negative battery terminal
to the starter motor body.
6. Adjust the rheostat until the battery positive voltage shown
on the voltmeter is 11 V.
7. Confirm that the maximum amperage is within the
specifications and that the starter motor turns smoothly and
freely.
Current: maximum 95 Amps
.
MAGNETIC SWITCH RETURN TEST
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal of the
magnetic switch.
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 sec-
onds) to prevent the coil from burning.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the M-terminal and body.
Be careful not to get your fingers caught when pulling
out the pinion.
3. Pull the pinion out and release. If the pinion quickly returns
to its original position, everything is operating properly. If it
doesn't, replace the magnetic switch.

<> SNAP RING AND STOP RING REMOVAL
1. Press a long socket wrench of appropriate size to the stop
ring. Then tap the socket wrench to remove the stop ring to
the pinion gear side.
2. After removing the snap ring (by using snap-ring pliers),
remove the stop ring and the overrunning clutch.
STARTER MOTOR PART 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 shop towel only.
2. Do not immerse the drive unit in cleaning solvent.
Overrunning clutch is pre-lubricated at the factory and
solvent will wash lubrication from the clutch.
3. The drive unit may be cleaned with a brush moistened with
cleaning solvent and wiped dry with a shop towel.

TION
Using a suitable pulling tool, pull the overrunning clutch stop
ring over the snap ring.

OVERRUNNING CLUTCH CHECK
1. While holding the clutch housing, rotate the pinion. The drive
pinion should rotate smoothly in one direction, but should
not rotate in the opposite direction. If the clutch does not
function properly, replace the overrunning clutch assembly.
2. Inspect the pinion for wear or burrs. If the pinion is worn or
burred, replace the overrunning clutch assembly. If the
pinion is damaged, also inspect the ring gear for wear or
burrs.
.
FRONT AND REAR BRACKET BUSHING CHECK
Inspect the bushing for wear or burrs. If the bushing is worn or
burred, replace the front bracket assembly or rear bracket
assembly.
.
ARMATURE CHECK
1. Check that the armature coil is not grounded.
2. Place the armature in a growler.
3. Hold a thin steel blade parallel and just above while rotating
the armature slowly in the growler. A shorted armature will
cause a blade to vibrate and be attracted to the core.
Replace the shorted armature.
4. Check the insulation between the armature coil cores and
the commutator segments. They are normal if there is no
continuity.
5. Check for continuity between the segments. The condition is
normal if there is continuity.

IGNITION SYSTEM
ENGINE ELECTRICAL16-30
IGNITION SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM1163000100528
This system is provided with six ignition coils with
built-in ignition power transistors for each of the cylin-
ders.
Interruption of the primary current flowing in the pri-
mary side of ignition coil generates a high voltage in
the secondary side of ignition coil.
The engine control unit (ECU) controls the three
ignition power transistors to turn them alternately ON
and OFF. This causes the primary currents in the
ignition coils to be alternately interrupted and allowed
to flow to fire the cylinders in the order 1-2-3-4-5-6.The ECU determines which ignition coil should be
controlled by means of the signals from the camshaft
position sensor which is incorporated in the camshaft
and from the crankshaft position sensor which is
incorporated in the crankshaft.
It also detects the crankshaft position to provide igni-
tion at the most appropriate timing in response to the
engine operation conditions.
When the engine is cold or operated at high alti-
tudes, the ignition timing is slightly advanced to pro-
vide optimum performance.

IGNITION COIL CHECK M1163001200380
Check by the following procedure, and replace the coil if there
is a malfunction.
.
PRIMARY COIL AND IGNITION POWER
TRANSISTOR CONTINUITY CHECK
NOTE: No test can be performed on the Primary side of coil.
.
SECONDARY COIL CHECK
NOTE: It is impossible to check the secondary coil through the
continuity check as a diode is integrated in the secondary coil
circuit of this ignition coil. Accordingly, check the secondary coil
in the following procedure.
1. Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
2. Remove the ignition coil and install a new spark plug to the
ignition coil.
3. Connect the ignition coil connector.
4. Disable vehicle fuel pump by removing fuel pump relay or
disconnecting fuel pump connector D-18 (under rear seat).
5. Ground the side electrode of the spark plug and crank the
engine.
6. Check that spark is produced between the electrodes of the
spark plug.
7. If no spark is produced, replace the ignition coil with a new
one and recheck.
8. If spark is produced with the new ignition coil, replace the
old one as it is faulty. If no spark is produced again, the
ignition circuit is suspected as faulty. Check the ignition
circuit.

SPARK PLUG TESTM1163001500143
1. Remove the spark plug and connect to the ignition coil.
2. Ground the spark plug outer electrode (body), and crank the
engine.
Check that there is an electrical discharge between the
electrodes at this time.
SPARK PLUG CHECK AND CLEANING M1163004300397
Do not attempt to adjust the gap of the iridium plug.
Cleaning of the iridium plug may result in damage to
the iridium tips. Therefore, if carbon deposits must be
removed, use a plug cleaner and complete cleaning
within 20 seconds to protect the electrode. Do not use a
wire brush.
Check the plug gap and replace if the limit is exceeded.
