• If the continuity is not as specified, replace the

clutch interlock switch.

• If OK, install clutch interlock switch and adjust

the clutch pedal height (see page 12-6).

1. Make sure you have the anti-theft codes for the

radio, then write down the customer’s radio station
presets.

2. Disconnect the nagative cable from the battery first,

then disconnect the positive cable.

3. Disconnect the S and M connectors from the starter

solenoid.

4. Check the hold-in coil for continuity between the

S terminal and the armature housing (ground).
There should be continuity.

• If there is continuity, go to step 5.
• If there is no continuity, replace the solenoid.

5. Check the pull-in coil for continuity between the S

terminal and M terminal . There should be
continuity.

• If there is continuity, the solenoid is OK.
• If there is no continuity, replace the solenoid.

6. Connect the positive cable to the battery first, and

then the nagative cable.

1. Disconnect the wire from the S terminal.

2. Make the connections as shown using as heavy a

wire as possible (preferably equivalent to the wire
used for the vehicle). To avoid damaging the starter,
never leave the battery connected for more than
10 seconds.

3. Connect the battery as shown. If the starter pinion

moves out, it is working properly.

4. Disconnect the negative battery terminal from the

body as shown. If the pinion retracts immediately,
it is working properly.

5. Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.

6. Connect the starter to the battery as shown, and

make sure the motor turns and keeps rotating.

7. If the electric current and motor speed meet the

specifications when the battery voltage is at 11.5 V,
the starter is working properly.
