Starter Motor: Testing and Inspection
STARTER INSPECTION[L3 WITH TC]
On-vehicle Inspection
1. Verify that the battery is fully charged.
2. The starter is normal if it rotates smoothly and without any noise when the engine is cranked.
-
If the starter does not operate, inspect the following:
-
Remove the starter, and inspect the starter unit.
-
Inspect the related wiring harnesses, the ignition switch, and the transaxle range switch.
No-load Test
1. Verify that the battery is fully charged.
2. Connect the starter, battery, and a tester as shown in the figure.
3. Operate the starter and verify that it rotates smoothly.
-
If the starter does not rotate smoothly, inspect the starter unit.
4. Measure the voltage and current while the starter is operating.
-
If not within the specification, replace the starter.
Starter no-load test voltage 11 V
Starter no-load test current 90 A or less
Magnetic Switch Operation Inspection
Pull-out test
NOTE: Depending on the battery charge condition, the starter motor pinion may rotate while in an extended state. This is due to current flowing to the
starter motor through the pull-in coil to turn the starter motor, and does not indicate an abnormality.
1. Verify that the starter motor pinion is extended while battery positive voltage is connected to terminal S and the starter body is grounded.
-
If the starter motor pinion is not extended, repair or replace the starter.
