INTERLOCK SWITCH (M/T) (CLUTCH START SWITCH)

Interlock switch is mounted on bracket near top front of clutch pedal. Disconnect interlock switch wiring connector. Using ohmmeter, ensure continuity exists between interlock switch connector terminals when clutch pedal is depressed and no continuity exists when clutch pedal is released. If continuity is not as described, adjust or replace interlock switch.

SOLENOID TESTS

CAUTIONPerform solenoid tests with starter and solenoid assembled. DO NOT engage starter solenoid for more than 10 seconds during testing or damage to coil winding may result.

Solenoid

  1. Disconnect all wires from solenoid, including "M" terminal wire between solenoid and starter. Using ohmmeter, ensure continuity exists between "S" and "M" terminals, and between "S" terminal and solenoid body. (Scheme 9)and see scheme 2. If continuity does not exist between specified terminals, replace solenoid.
  2. Using ohmmeter, ensure continuity does not exist between "M" and "B" terminals. If continuity exists, replace solenoid.

OVERRUNNING CLUTCH PINION DRIVE

Hold overrunning clutch housing and turn pinion gear by hand. If pinion turns in both directions or does not turn at all, clutch is faulty. Replace clutch. DO NOT clean overrunning clutch with solvent, as it is packed with grease and sealed by manufacturer.
