4. BRUSH AND BRUSH HOLDER
1) Brush length
Measure the brush length, and then replace if it is
worn down to under the service limit.
Replace if abnormal wear or cracks are noticed.
Brush length:
Standard
12.3 mm (0.484 in)
Service limit
7.0 mm (0.276 in)
2) Brush movement
Be sure the brush moves smoothly inside brush
holder.
3) Brush spring force
Measure the brush spring force with a spring scale.
If it is less than the service limit, replace the brush
holder.
Brush spring force:
Standard
Except DOHC turbo MT model
15.9 — 19.5 N (1.62 — 1.99 kgf, 3.57 — 4.38
lb) (when new)
DOHC turbo MT model
21.6 N (2.2 kgf, 4.9 lb) (when new)
Service limit
Except DOHC turbo MT model
2.5 N (0.25 kgf, 0.56 lb)
DOHC turbo MT model
5.9 N (0.6 kgf, 1.3 lb)
5. SWITCH ASSEMBLY
Using a circuit tester (set in “ohm”), check that
there is continuity between terminals S and M, and
between terminal S and ground.
Also check to be sure there is no continuity be-
tween terminals M and B.
Terminal/Specified resistance:
S — M/Less than 1

S — Ground/Less than 1

6. SWITCH ASSEMBLY OPERATION
1) Connect the terminal S of switch assembly to
positive terminal of battery with a lead wire, and
starter body to ground terminal of battery. The pin-
ion should be forced endwise on shaft.
CAUTION:
With the pinion forced endwise on shaft, the
starter motor may rotate because current flows
through the pull-in coil to motor, however, this
is not a problem.
2) Disconnect the connector from terminal M, and
then connect the positive terminal of battery and
terminal M using a lead wire and ground terminal to
starter body.
In this test set up, the pinion should return to its
original position even when it is pulled out with a
screwdriver.
