Scheme 12
  1. Remove the starter (see «REMOVAL»(ref-290829-S25459079472008072200000)
  2. Firmly clamp the starter in a vise.
  3. Make a connection for this test using the thickest (gauge) wire possible (preferably the same gauge as used on the vehicle). NOTE: To avoid damaging the starter, never leave the battery connected for more than 10 seconds.
  4. If the starter pinion moves out, it is working properly.
  5. Disconnect the battery terminal from the starter as shown. If the pinion retracts immediately, it is working properly.
  6. Connect the starter to the battery as shown below, and confirm that the motor starts and keeps rotating.
  7. If the electric current meets the specification when the battery voltage is at 11.5 V, the starter is working properly. Specification Electric Current: 80 A or less

Scheme 13: Removal

Scheme 14

Scheme 14
  1. Do the battery removal procedure (see «REMOVAL»(ref-290830-S18916346762009102900000) ).
  2. Remove the intake manifold (see «REMOVAL»(ref-290821-S41603061832008072200000) ).
  3. Disconnect the positive starter cable (A) and the S terminal connector (B).
  4. Remove the harness clamp (C).
  5. Remove the two bolts (A) holding the starter, then remove the starter.

Scheme 15

Scheme 15: Installation
  1. Install the starter, then tighten the two bolts
  2. Install the harness clamp (A).
  3. Connect the positive starter cable (B) and the S terminal connector (C). Make sure the crimped side of the ring terminal faces away from the starter when you connect it.
  4. Install the intake manifold (see «INSTALLATION»(ref-290821-S27171017002008072200000) ).
  5. Do the battery installation procedure (see «INSTALLATION»(ref-290830-S12286497592009102900000) ).
  6. Start the engine to make sure the starter works properly.

  1. Remove the starter (see «STARTER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-290829-S02096913712008072200000) ).
  2. Disassemble the starter as shown at the beginning of this procedure.
  3. Inspect the armature for wear or damage from contact with the permanent magnet. If there is wear or damage, replace the armature.
  4. Check the commutator (A) surface. If the surface is dirty or burnt, resurface it with an emery cloth or a lathe to the specifications in step 5, or recondition with #500 or #600 sandpaper (B).
  5. Check the commutator diameter. If the diameter is below the service limit, replace the armature. Commutator Diameter Standard (New): 28.0-28.1 mm (1.102-1.106 in.) Service Limit: 27.5 mm (1.083 in.)
  6. Measure the commutator (A) runout. If the commutator runout is within the service limit, check the commutator for carbon dust or brass chips between the segments. If the commutator runout is not within the service limit, replace the armature. Commutator Runout Standard (New): 0.02 mm (0.001 in.) max. Service Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)
  7. Check the mica depth (A). If the mica is too high (B), undercut the mica with a hacksaw blade to the proper depth. Cut away all the mica (C) between the commutator segments. The undercut should not be too shallow, too narrow, or V-shaped (D). Commutator Mica Depth Standard (New): 0.40-0.50 mm (0.016-0.020 in.) Service Limit: 0.15 mm (0.006 in.)
  8. Check for continuity between the segments of the commutator. If there is an open circuit between any segments, replace the armature.
  9. Place the armature (A) on an armature tester (B). Hold a hacksaw blade (C) on the armature core. If the blade is attracted to the core or vibrates while the core is turned, the armature is shorted. Replace the armature.
  10. Use an ohmmeter to check for continuity between the commutator (A) and the armature coil core (B), and between the commutator and the armature shaft (C). If there is continuity, replace the armature.

Scheme 25: Starter Brush Inspection
  1. Measure the brush length. If it is shorter than the service limit, replace the brush holder assembly. Brush Length Standard (New): 11.1-11.5 mm (0.44-0.45 in.) Service Limit: 4.3 mm (0.17 in.)
