INSPECTION

1. Solenoid

(1) Check for continuity between S and M terminals with ohmmeter. Replace solenoid if there is no

continuity.

(2) Check for continuity between S terminal and solenoid body with ohmmeter. Replace solenoid if there is

no continuity.

(3) Check continuity between M and B terminal with ohmmeter. Replace solenoid if there is continuity.

2. Brush and brush holder

(1) Check continuity between each insulated brush and plate with ohmmeter. Replace brush holder if there

is continuity.

(2) Measure the force of brush spring with spring balance.

Brush spring force : 2.0lb (8.8N)

(3) Replace spring if force is insufficient.

3. Brush

If brush is worn to the wear limit, replace all brushes.

Standard : 0.67in (17mm)
Wear limit : 0.45in (11.5mm)

4. Field coil

(1) Check for continuity between M terminal wire and brushes with ohmmeter. Replace yoke assembly if

there is no continuity.

(2) Check continuity between M terminal wire and yoke with ohmmeter. Replace yoke assembly if there is

continuity.

(3) Check if field coil is loose. Replace yoke assembly if necessary.

5. Armature

(1) Check continuity between commutator and core with ohmmeter. Replace armature if there is continuity.
