Starter Performance - Test
M/T
1.
Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.
2.
Make the connections for this test using the thickest (gauge) wire possible (preferably the same gauge as used on the vehicle).
NOTE: To avoid damaging the starter, never leave the battery connected for more than 5 seconds.
3.
Connect the battery as shown. Make sure you disconnect the motor cable from the M terminal. If the starter pinion moves out, it is working properly.
4.
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal. If the pinion does not retract, the hold-in coil of the solenoid is working properly.
5.
Disconnect the battery from the starter body as shown. If the pinion retracts immediately, it is working properly.
6.
Reconnect the motor cable to the M terminal.
7.
Connect the starter to the battery as shown, and confirm that the motor runs.
8.
If the electric current meets the specification when the battery voltage is at 11.5 V, the starter is working properly.
Specification
Electric Current: 80 A or less
A/T
1.
Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.
2.
Make a connection for this test using the thickest (gauge) wire possible (preferably the same gauge as used on the vehicle).
NOTE: To avoid damaging the starter, never leave the battery connected for more than 5 seconds.
3.
Connect the battery as shown, and check for continuity between the B terminal and the starter body. If there is continuity, it is working properly.
4.
Disconnect the battery from the starter body as shown, and check for continuity between the B terminal and the starter body. If there is no continuity, it is working properly.
5.
Connect the starter to the battery as shown, and confirm that the motor runs.
6.
If the electric current meets the specification when the battery voltage is at 11.5 V, the starter is working properly.
Specification
Electric Current: 80 A or less

Starter - Install
M/T
A/T
1.
Install the starter (A), then tighten the mounting bolts (B).
NOTE (A/T): Always use a new gasket (C).
2.
Connect the positive starter cable (D) and the S terminal connector (E). Make sure the crimped side of the ring terminal faces away from the starter when you connect it.
3.
M/T: Install the harness clamp (F).
4.
A/T: Install the lower radiator hose (G) to the lower radiator hose bracket (H).
