STARTING SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CRANKING CIRCUIT
The cranking system consists of a battery, starter, starter
switch, starter relay, etc. These main components are
connected.
STARTER
The cranking system employs a magnetic type reduction
starter in which the motor shaft is also used as a pinion shaft.
When the starter switch is turned on, the contacts of magnetic
switch are closed, and the armature rotates. At the same time,
the plunger is attracted, and the pinion is pushed forward by
the shift lever to mesh with the ring gear.
Then, the ring gear runs to start the engine. When the engine
starts and the starter switch is turned off, the plunger returns,
the pinion is disengaged from the ring gear, and the armature
stops rotation. When the engine speed is higher than the
pinion, the pinion idles, so that the armature is not driven.
SERVICE PRECAUTION
CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location.
When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part
number for that application. HOLDEN will call out those
fasteners that require a replacement after removal.
HOLDEN will also call out the fasteners that require thread
lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE
SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (Paints,
greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded
fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such
coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you
install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and
specifications. Following these instructions can help you
avoid damage to parts and systems.

INSPECTION AND REPAIR
Repair or replace necessary parts if extreme wear or damage
is found during inspection.
ARMATURE
Check for continuity between commutator and segment.
Replace commutator if there is no continuity (i.e.,
disconnected).
Check for continuity between commutator and shaft.
Also, check for continuity between commutator and armature
core, armature core and shaft. Replace commutator if there is
continuity (i.e., internally grounded).
BRUSH
Measure the length of brush.
Replace with a new one, if it is below the limit.
BRUSH HOLDER
Check for continuity between brush holder (+) (4) and base (-).
Replace, if there is continuity (i.e., insulation is broken).
MAGNETIC SWITCH
Check for continuity of shunt coil between terminals S and M.
Replace, if there is no continuity (i.e., coil is disconnected).
CONTINUITY OF SERIES COIL
Check for continuity between terminals S and M.
Replace, if there is no continuity (i.e., coil is disconnected).
CONTINUITY O F CONTACTS
With the plunger faced downward, push down the magnetic
switch. In this state, check for continuity between terminals B
and M. Replace, if there is no continuity (i.e., contacts are
faulty).
PINION
Check if the pinion rotates smoothly in drive direction by hand,
or if it is locked when it is rotated in reverse. If not, replace the
pinion.
CHARACTERISTIC TEST
For easily confirming the characteristics, conduct the noload
test as follows:
Rating as short as 30 seconds requires rapid testing.
Fix the starter on the test bench, and wire as shown in
illustration. When the switch is closed, the current flows and
the starter runs under no load. At this time, measure current,
voltage and speed to check if they satisfy the standard.
