Pinion Gap
CAUTION:
Perform pinion gap test in less than 10 seconds to prevent solenoid coil damage.
- Disconnect field coil wire from starter terminal "M" of solenoid. Connect remote starter switch between positive battery terminal and terminal "S" of solenoid. See Fig 1 . Connect jumper wire from negative battery terminal to terminal "M" of solenoid.
- Activate remote starter switch (maximum 10 seconds), and ensure pinion drive moves out. Using feeler gauge, measure clearance between pinion and stopper. Ensure clearance is within specification. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS . Adjust clearance, if necessary, by adding or removing shims between solenoid and front bracket.
