Preliminary Tests

NOTE: PG260 starter motor is not serviceable, and must be replaced as a complete assembly. If test values do not meet specifications, replace starter and solenoid as an assembly.

Remove starter from vehicle. See STARTER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check starter for damage such as broken or stripped electrical terminals, broken or cracked drive end housing. If no obvious damage is found, perform starter no-load test and pinion clearance check before disassembling starter motor.
