2. Check the condition of the (−) heat sink by
checking continuity between the (−) heat sink and
each of the stator coil lead connecting terminals.
If continuity is present in both directions, the diode
is shorted. Replace the rectifier assembly.
3. Check the condition of the diode trio by testing
continuity of each of the three diodes using a
circuit tester connected to both sides of the diode.
Connect in a polarity and then reverse the polarity
for each test.
If continuity exists or no continuity exists for both
polarities, the diode is defective. Replace the
rectifier assembly if any of the diodes is defective.
BRUSH
1. Measure the length of the protrusion of the brush.
Replace the brush if the protrusion length is
shorter than the limit.
Limit: 2 mm minimum
2. Unsolder the lead of the brush. The brush will
come out, becoming ready for removal.
3. Install a new brush by pushing it into the holder as
shown in the drawing and soldering the lead.

If the ignition switch is turned to the "START"
position, current flows in the pull-in and holding coils
provided inside magnetic switch, attracting the
plunger, When the plunger is attracted, the lever
connected to the plunger is actuated to engage the
starter clutch.
On the other hand, attracting the plunger will turn on
the magnetic switch, allowing the "B" terminal and
"M" terminal to conduct. Thus, current flows to
engage the starter motor.When the ignition switch is returned to the "ON"
position after starting the engine, the starter clutch is
disengaged from the ring gear.
An overrunning clutch is provided between the pinion
and the armature shaft, to prevent damage to the
starter.

PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal
of the magnetic switch.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal
and M-terminal.
CAUTION
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
3. Set the switch to "ON", and the pinion will move
out.
4. Check the pinion-to-stopper clearance (pinion
gap) with a feeler gauge.
Standard value: 0.5 − 2.0 mm5. If the pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by
adding or removing gasket(s) between the
magnetic switch and front bracket.
MAGNETIC SWITCH PULL-IN TEST
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal
of the magnetic switch.
CAUTION
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal
and M-terminal.
3. If the pinion moves out, the pull-in coil is good. If it
doesn't, replace the magnetic switch.

2. Connect a test ammeter (100-ampere scale) and
carbon pile rheostat in series between the 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 battery (-)
terminal to the starter motor body.
6. Adjust the rheostat until the battery 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.

3. While holding a thin strip of iron against the
armature in parallel with its axis, turn the armature
slowly. The armature is normal if the iron strip is
not attracted to the armature or it does not vibrate.

segments and armature coils. The armature coils
are properly insulated if no continuity is present.
5. Check continuity between a segment and another.
There is no open circuit in the tested coil if there is
continuity.

IGNITION SYSTEM
ENGINE ELECTRICAL16-30
IGNITION SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATIONM1163000100294
This system is equipped with two ignition coils (A and
B) with built-in power transistors for the No. 1 and
No. 4 cylinders and the No. 2 and No. 3 cylinders
respectively.
Interruption of the primary current flowing in the
primary side of ignition coil A generates a high
voltage in the secondary side of ignition coil A. The
high voltage thus generated is applied to the spark
plugs of No. 1 and No. 4 cylinders to generate
sparks. At the time that the sparks are generated at
both spark plugs, if one cylinder is at the
compression stroke, the other cylinder is at the
exhaust stroke, so that ignition of the compressed
air/fuel mixture occurs only for the cylinder which is
at the compression stroke.
In the same way, when the primary current flowing in
ignition coil B is interrupted, the high voltage thus
generated is applied to the spark plugs of No. 2 and
No. 3 cylinders.The engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU
turns the two power transistors inside the ignition
coils 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 1-3-4-2.
The engine-ECU or engine-A/T-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 crank angle sensor which is incorporated in
the crankshaft. It also detects the crankshaft position
in order to provide ignition at the most appropriate
timing in response to the engine operation
conditions. It also detects the crankshaft position in
order to provide ignition at the most appropriate
timing in response to the engine operation
conditions.
When the engine is cold or operated at high
altitudes, the ignition timing is slightly advanced to
provide optimum performance.
When the automatic transmission shifts gears, the
ignition timing is also retarded in order to reduce
output torque, thereby alleviating shifting shocks.
