TEST PROCEDURE 9 – STARTER/GENERATOR (STARTER FUNCTION)
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
1. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in
General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
2. Ensure that wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as necessary.
3. Disconnect the wires from all the terminals on the starter/generator. Then place the black (–) probe of a
multimeter, set to 200 ohms, on the starter/generator housing (scratch through the finish to ensure a
good ground). While holding the black (–) probe against the housing, place the red (+) probe (one at a
time) on the A1, A2, F1, F2 and DF terminals respectively (Figure 11-20, Page 11-24) . The readings
should be no continuity. If the readings are incorrect, the starter/generator will need to be removed from
the vehicle and disassembled by a qualified technician. See Starter/Generator Removal, Section 12,
Page 12-1.
- An incorrect reading from the A1 or A2 terminal indicates three possible problems: 1) a grounded A1
or A2 terminal, 2) a grounded wire in the brush area, or 3) a grounded armature/commutator.
- If the F1 or F2 reading is incorrect, it indicates a possible grounded F1 or F2 terminal or a grounded
field coil.
- If the DF reading is incorrect, it indicates a possible grounded DF terminal or a grounded field coil.
4. Disconnect the ground wire from the A2 terminal and the green wire from the A1 terminal on the starter/
generator.
