NO-START
If a no-start condition exists and battery is known to be good, check main fusible links and large ampere main fuses in engine compartment relay box. If fusible links and fuses are okay, see STARTER RELAY TEST , IGNITION SWITCH TEST and/ or CLUTCH START SWITCH TEST under ON-VEHICLE TESTING.
SOLENOID TESTS
| CAUTION | DO NOT engage starter solenoid for more than 5 seconds during testing, or damage to coil winding will result. |
- Pull-In Coil Test - Disconnect field coil lead from terminal "C". Connect ground to starter body and terminal "C" and positive battery voltage to terminal No. 50. (Scheme 16) Ensure that the clutch pinion gear moves outward. If there is no continuity, check and replace the magnetic switch. If there is continuity, go to step 2.
- Hold-In Coil Test - Disconnect ohmmeter lead from terminal "C". (Scheme 17) Ensure that the pinion gear remains in outward position. Hold ohmmeter lead on body of starter. (Scheme 16) If there is no continuity, replace the magnetic switch.
- Pinion Gear Return Test - Disconnect the negative lead from the switch body. (Scheme 18) Verify that clutch pinion gear returns inward.
