Soul L4-2.0L (2010)
Starter Motor: Testing and Inspection
Inspection
Brush
A brush worn down to the wear limit line should be replaced.
Brush Holder
Check for continuity between the (+) side brush holder(A) and brush holder base(B). If there is continuity, replace the holder assembly.
Overrunning Clutch
Inspect the pinion and spline teeth for wear or damage. Replace if damaged. Also inspect the flywheel ring gear for damage.
Rotate the pinion. It should turn freely in a clockwise direction, and lock when turned counterclockwise.
Pinion Gap Adjustment
1. Disconnect the wire from the M-terminal.
2. Connect a 12V battery between the S-terminal and the M-terminal.
3. Set the switch to "ON", and the pinion will move out.
CAUTION:
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 5 seconds) to prevent damage to the coil.
