1. Inspect the armature for wear or damage from contact with

the permanent magnet. If there is wear or damage, replace
the armature.

2. Check the commutator (A) surface. If the surface is dirty or

burnt, resurface it with an emery cloth or a lathe to the
specifications in step 3, or recondition with ＃500 or ＃600
sandpaper (B).

3. Check the commutator diameter with a digital caliper or dial type caliper. If the diameter is below the service limit, replace the
armature.

4. Measure the commutator (A) runout:

If the commutator runout is within the service limit, check the commutator for carbon dust or brass chips between the
segments.
If the commutator runout is not within the service limit, replace the armature.

6. Use an ohmmeter to check for continuity between the

segments of the commutator. If there is an open circuit
between any of the segments, replace the armature.

7. Place the armature (A) on an armature tester (B). Hold a

hacksaw blade (C) on the armature core. If the blade is
attracted to the core while the core is turned, the armature
is shorted. Replace the armature.

‐2. Do the STARTING TEST, check the cranking voltage and the current draw from the
following service limit table.
Voltage (V) Current (A)
8.5 or more 380 or less

Are the cranking voltage and the current draw within the service limits?

YES Remove the starter, and inspect its pinion gear and the flywheel ring gear for
damage. Replace any damaged parts.■
NO Replace the starter or remove and disassemble it, and check for these problems:■
Excessive drag in the engine
Drag in the starter armature
Shorted armature winding
Open circuit in the starter armature commutator segments
Excessively worn starter brushes
Open circuit in the starter brushes
Dirty or damaged helical splines or drive gear
Faulty overrunning clutch
