6. Using a ¼" ratchet and 10mm deep well socket,
remove the upper starter mount bolt (D). Use an
8mm deep well socket to remove the lower starter
mount bolt (E).
7. Pull starter motor towards the driver's side to
disengage it from the engine and remove the starter
motor out the passenger side of the vehicle.

STARTER MOTOR INSTALLATION

1. Inspect and replace starter motor O-rings if needed.
2. Lubricate the starter motor O-rings (F) with clean
engine oil.
3. Install the starter motor onto the engine case.
4. Hand tighten the upper starter motor bolt / stud.
5. Install the lower mounting bolt and torque to
specification.
NOTE
Tighten the lower starter bolt first, as the bottom hole
acts as a pilot hole to properly align the starter drive
(bendix) with the flywheel. This helps prevent binding
and starter damage.

STARTER SOLENOID BENCH TEST

Test the start solenoid by powering the solenoid using
battery voltage for a maximum of 5 seconds. With the
solenoid energized, resistance should read about 0 - 0.5
ohms between terminals (A) and (B). If resistance
measurement is out of specification, replace the starter
solenoid.

STARTER SOLENOID OPERATION

To energize the Starter Solenoid the following must
occur:
• The brake must be applied to close the brake pressure
switch and provide 12V power to the key switch and
ECU.
• The key switch must be turned to the "start" position to
provide 12V power to the starter solenoid via the
Green / White wire.
