STARTING SYSTEM — STARTER Inspection (Magnetic switch, Brush and brush holder)

G-40prose procedure

Brush spring force differs by engine and transaxle (B6 DOHC, K8 DOHC MTX, K8 DOHC ATX), with cold-area (*1) alternates for K8 DOHC MTX.

Inspection

1
Continuity (Terminal S–Terminal M): Check for continuity between terminals S and M. Replace the magnetic switch if there is no continuity.
2
Continuity (Terminal S–Body): Check for continuity between terminal S and the body. Replace the magnetic switch if there is no continuity.
3
Grounding: Check continuity between terminals M and B. Replace the magnetic switch if there is continuity.

1
Check continuity between each insulated brush and the plate. Replace the brush holder if there is continuity.
2
Measure the brush spring force with a spring balance.
3
Replace the spring if not as specified.
