Kia Forte: Starter Inspection
Second generation YD (2014-2018) / Kia Forte TD 2014-2018 Service Manual / Engine Electrical System / Starting System / Starter Inspection
| Starter Solenoid Inspection |
| 1. |
Disconnect the lead wire from the M-terminal of solenoid switch.
|
| 2. |
Connect the battery as shown. If the starter pinion pops out,
it is working properly.
|
| 3. |
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal.
If the pinion does not retract, the hold-in coil is working properly.
|
| 4. |
Disconnect the battery also from the body. If the pinion retracts
immediately, it is working properly.
|
| Free Running Inspection |
| 1. |
Place the starter motor in a vise equipped with soft jaws and
connect a fully-charged 12-volt battery to starter motor as follows.
|
| 2. |
Connect a test ammeter (150-ampere scale) and carbon pile rheostats
shown is the illustration.
|
| 3. |
Connect a voltmeter (15-volt scale) across starter motor.
|
| 4. |
Rotate carbon pile to the off position.
|
| 5. |
Connect the battery cable from battery's negative post to the
starter motor body.
|
| 6. |
Adjust until battery voltage shown on the voltmeter reads 11volts.
|
| 7. |
Confirm that the maximum amperage is within the specifications
and that the starter motor turns smoothly and freely.
|
Armature Inspection And Test
| 1. |
Remove the starter.
|
| 2. |
Disassemble the starter as shown at the beginning of this procedure.
|
| 3. |
Inspect the armature for wear or damage from contact with the
permanent magnet. If there is wear or damage, replace the armature.
|
| 4. |
Check the commutator (A) surface. If the surface is dirty or burnt,
resurface with emery cloth or a lathe within the following specifications,
or recondition with #500 or #600 sandpaper (B).
|
| 5. |
Check the commutator diameter. If the diameter is below the service
limit, replace the armature.
|
| 6. |
Measure the commutator (A) runout.
|
| 7. |
Check the mica depth (A). If the mica is too high (B), undercut
the mica with a hacksaw blade to the proper depth. Cut away all the
mica (C) between the commutator segments. The undercut should not be
too shallow, too narrow, or v-shaped (D).
|
| 8. |
Check for continuity between the segments of the commutator. If
an open circuit exists between any segments, replace the armature.
|
| 9. |
Check with an ohmmeter that no continuity exists between the commutator
(A) and armature coil core (B), and between the commutator and armature
shaft (C). If continuity exists, replace the armature.
|
Inspect Starter Brush
Brushes that are worm out, or oil-soaked, should be replaced.
Starter Brush Holder Test
Make sure there is no continuity between the (+) brush holder (A) and
(-) plate (B). If there is continuity, replace the brush holder assembly.
Overrunning Clutch
| 1. |
Slide the overrunning clutch along the shaft.
Replace it if does not slide smoothly.
|
| 2. |
Rotate the overrunning clutch both ways.
Does it lock in one direction and rotate smoothly in reverse?
If it does not lock in either direction or it locks in both directions,
replace it.
|
| 3. |
If the starter drive gear is worn or damaged, replace the overrunning
clutch assembly. (the gear is not available separately).
Check the condition of the flywheel or torque converter ring gear
if the starter drive gear teeth are damaged.
|
Starter Reassembly
1.
Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
...
Starter Cleaning
1.
Do not immerse parts in cleaning solvent.
Immersing the yoke assembly and/or armature will damage the insulation
wipe these parts with a cloth only.
