VIN
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
All models use 4-brush, solenoid-actuated, reduction gear type starters, equipped with overrunning clutches. The brush holder assembly retains 4 brushes and springs in the starter housing.
Reduction gear type starters contain an integral solenoid attached to drive housing, a reduction idler gear and bearing installed into starter housing, and a clutch drive assembly. The clutch drive assembly is mounted to starter housing and is driven by the reduction idler gear from armature shaft. The brush holder assembly retains 4 brushes and 4 springs in the end cover of field frame housing.
Starter relay is used to energize starter. It also uses an engine control module and park/neutral switch in the starter relay circuit. On models with an engine immobilizer system, transponder key computer is connected to power for the ignition circuit.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Note. See TROUBLE SHOOTING article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
NO-START
If a no-start condition exists and battery is known to be good, see IGNITION SWITCH TEST , STARTER RELAY TEST , PARK/NEUTRAL SWITCH TEST and/or ACCESSORY CUT RELAY under ON-VEHICLE TESTING.
ON-VEHICLE TESTING
Note. Before testing, ensure battery is fully charged, battery cables and terminal ends are tight and clean, and engine grounds are secure.
ACCESSORY CUT RELAY
- Locate and remove accessory cut relay. (Scheme 1)
- Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity across terminals 1 and 2. (Scheme 2) Continuity should not exist across terminals 3 and 5. If relay operates as specified, go to step 3.
- Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between terminals 3 and 5 when battery voltage is applied across terminals 1 and 2. (Scheme 2) If continuity is not present across terminals 3 and 5, replace the relay.
- If relay operates as specified, reinstall engine cut relay.

IGNITION SWITCH TEST
See appropriate STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
STARTER ASSEMBLY
| CAUTION | These tests must be performed within 3 to 5 seconds of application of power to avoid burning out the coil. |
- Remove the terminal "C" nut and disconnect the field coil lead wire from terminal "C". Go to step 2.
- Clip ground to terminal "C" and the main body of the starter, connect the battery to the magnetic switch (Terminal 50). Ensure that the clutch pinion gear moves outward. (Scheme 3) If as specified, go to step 3.
- Disconnect the negative lead from terminal "C". (Scheme 4) Verify that the pinion gear remains out. If as specified, go to step 4.
- Disconnect the negative lead from the switch body. (Scheme 5) Verify that the clutch pinion gear returns inward. If as specified, go to step 5.
- Connect the lead wire to terminal "C" with the terminal "C" nut. Tighten the nut to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(/toyota/land-cruiser/100-2002-2005/remont/starter/#starting-system__torque-specifications). Go to step 6.
- Clip battery negative to the main body of the starter. Connect an ammeter in series with battery positive to terminal 30 and Terminal 50 of the starter. (Scheme 6) Verify starter turns smoothly and the current is within specification of 90 amps or less at 11.5 volts.

PARK/NEUTRAL SWITCH TEST
Note. If vehicle will not start with shift lever in Park/Neutral position, verify correct park/neutral switch adjustment. If park/neutral switch is correctly adjusted and verify switch continuity. See appropriate AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SERVICING article in TRANSMISSIONS/TRANSAXLES.
STARTER RELAY TEST
- Locate and remove starter relay. Starter relay is marked "ST". Using ohmmeter, verify continuity between relay terminals No. 1 and 2. (Scheme 7) Continuity should not exist between terminals No. 3 and 5. If continuity is not as specified, replace relay.
- Check relay operation by applying battery voltage through terminals No. 1 and 2. (Scheme 7) Continuity should now exist between terminals No. 3 and 5. If relay does not test as indicated, replace relay.
- If OK, reinstall starter test relay.
Scheme 7
ARMATURE COIL TEST
- Using an ohmmeter check that there is continuity between the segments of the commutator. (Scheme 8) If any of the segments do not have continuity between them, replace the armature.
- Check the commutator for ground. Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between the commutator and armature coil core. (Scheme 9) If there is continuity, replace the armature.
- If commutator surface is dirty or burnt, it can be polished with No. 400 grit sandpaper or replace the part.
- Check for the commutator circle runout. (Scheme 10): Place the commutator on V-blocks. Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout to ensure it is within specification. See «STARTER SPECIFICATIONS»(/toyota/land-cruiser/100-2002-2005/remont/starter/#starting-system__starter-specifications). If the circle runout is greater than maximum, replace the armature.
- Measure Commutator diameter. (Scheme 11) If commutator diameter is less than minimum specification, see «STARTER SPECIFICATIONS»(/toyota/land-cruiser/100-2002-2005/remont/starter/#starting-system__starter-specifications), replace armature.
- Ensure undercut depth between commutator segments are clean, free of debris, and that edges are smooth, and within specification (Scheme 12) If undercut depth is less than minimum, use a hacksaw blade to correct it. See «STARTER SPECIFICATIONS»(/toyota/land-cruiser/100-2002-2005/remont/starter/#starting-system__starter-specifications).

BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY TEST
- Using vernier calipers, measure the brush length. (Scheme 13) Verify brush length is within specification. See «STARTER SPECIFICATIONS»(/toyota/land-cruiser/100-2002-2005/remont/starter/#starting-system__starter-specifications). If the length is less than minimum, replace the brush holder and starter yoke assembly.
- Using an ohmmeter, Verify that there is no continuity between the positive and negative brush holders. (Scheme 13) If the there is continuity repair or replace the starter commutator end frame assembly.
Scheme 13
CLUTCH ASSEMBLY & GEARS TEST
- Inspect teeth on pinion gear, idler gear and clutch assembly for wear or damage. If damaged, replace gear or clutch assembly.
- Inspect clutch pinion gear by rotating pinion gear counterclockwise. Ensure gear turns freely in counterclockwise direction, but locks up when turned clockwise. (Scheme 14) If not as specified, replace clutch assembly.
Scheme 14
FIELD COIL TEST
- Using an ohmmeter, verify that there is continuity between the lead wire and field coil brush lead. If there is no continuity, replace the field frame. (Scheme 15)
- Using an ohmmeter, verify that there is no continuity between the field coil end and field frame. If continuity is present, replace the field frame. (Scheme 15)
- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between shunt coil terminals "A" and "B". (Scheme 16) Verify coil resistance is within specification. See «STARTER SPECIFICATIONS»(/toyota/land-cruiser/100-2002-2005/remont/starter/#starting-system__starter-specifications). If the resistance is not as specified, replace the starter yoke assembly.
