PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH (A/T)
- Apply parking brake. Place gear selector in Neutral. Disconnect shift cable from park/neutral position (transmission range) switch. Ensure manual control lever is still in Neutral position.
- Loosen park/neutral position switch attaching bolts. Rotate park/neutral position switch until manual control lever and switch flange tab align. (Scheme 15) Tighten park/neutral position switch bolts.
- Install shift cable. Ensure starter will only engage when gear selector is in Park or Neutral and gear selector shifts smoothly through all gears.

Accent
- Remove starter relay. Check continuity between relay terminals No. 1 and 3, and between terminals No. 2 and 4. (Scheme 16) Continuity should exist between terminals No. 1 and 3. Continuity should not exist between terminals No. 2 and 4. If continuity is as specified, go to next step. If continuity is not as specified, replace starter relay.
- Apply battery voltage between terminals No. 1 and 3. Continuity should now exist between terminals No. 2 and 4. If continuity is not as specified, replace starter relay. If continuity is as specified, starter relay is okay at this time.

Elantra & Tiburon
- Remove starter relay. Check continuity between relay terminals No. 1 and 2, and between terminals No. 3 and 5. (Scheme 17) Continuity should exist between terminals No. 3 and 5. Continuity should not exist between terminals No. 1 and 2. If continuity is as specified, go to next step. If continuity is not as specified, replace starter relay.
- Apply battery voltage between terminals No. 3 and 5. Continuity should now exist between terminals No. 1 and 2. If continuity is not as specified, replace starter relay. If continuity is as specified, starter relay is okay at this time.
Scheme 17
Sonata
- Remove starter relay. Check continuity between relay terminals No. 85 and 86, and between terminals No. 30 and 87. (Scheme 18) Continuity should exist between terminals No. 85 and 86. Continuity should not exist between terminals No. 30 and 87. If continuity is as specified, go to next step. If continuity is not as specified, replace starter relay.
- Apply battery voltage between terminals No. 85 and 86. Continuity should now exist between terminals No. 30 and 87. If continuity is not as specified, replace starter relay. If continuity is as specified, starter relay is okay at this time.

SOLENOID TESTS
| CAUTION | Perform solenoid tests in less than 10 seconds to prevent solenoid coil damage. |
Pull-In Test
Disconnect field coil wire from terminal "M" of solenoid. Connect 12-volt battery between terminals "S" and "M" of solenoid. (Scheme 19) Solenoid plunger should pull in, extending pinion drive. If pinion drive moves outward, pull-in coil is good. If pinion drive does not move outward, replace solenoid.
Scheme 19
Hold-In Test
Disconnect field coil wire from terminal "M" of solenoid. Apply battery voltage to terminal "S" of solenoid, and ground starter case. (Scheme 20) Solenoid plunger should pull in. If pinion drive remains out when plunger is pulled in, hold-in circuit is good. If pinion drive moves in or moves back and forth repeatedly, hold-in circuit is open. Replace solenoid.
Scheme 20
PINION GAP
| CAUTION | Perform pinion gap test in less than 10 seconds to prevent solenoid coil damage. |
- Disconnect field coil wire from starter terminal "M" of solenoid. Connect remote starter switch between positive battery terminal and terminal "S" of solenoid. (Scheme 21) Connect jumper wire from negative battery terminal to terminal "M" of solenoid.
- Activate remote starter switch (maximum 10 seconds), and ensure pinion drive moves out. Using feeler gauge, measure clearance between pinion and stopper. Ensure clearance is within specification. See «PINION GAP SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-4146-S30700295142000061400000) table. Adjust clearance, if necessary, by adding or removing shims between solenoid and front bracket.

BUSHING
Check front and rear bracket bushing. If bushing is worn or burred, replace as necessary. see scheme 15or see scheme 16.
OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
- While holding clutch housing, rotate drive pinion. Drive pinion should rotate smoothly in one direction, but not in the reverse direction. Replace overrunning clutch if operation is not as specified.
- Visually inspect drive pinion. If drive pinion is worn or burred, replace overrunning clutch. If drive pinion is damaged, also check ring gear for wear or burrs.
