Starter Armature: Testing and Inspection

INSPECT ARMATURE COIL




a. Check the commutator has an open circuit.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between the segments of the commutator.

If there is no continuity between any segments, replace the armature.




b. Check the commutator for ground.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between the commutator and armature coil core.

If there is continuity, replace the armature.
