Starter Armature: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
1. Check the armature coil is not shorted.
2. Place armature in a growler.
3. Hold a thin steel blade parallel and just above while rotating armature slowly in growler. A shorted armature will cause blade to vibrate and be
attracted to the core. Replace shorted armature.
4. Check the insulation between the armature coil cores and the commutator segments. They are normal if there is no continuity.
5. Check for continuity between segments. The condition is normal if there is continuity.
