Preliminary Tests
NOTE:
On all PG260 starter motors, starter is serviced as an 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, etc. If no obvious damage is found, perform starter no-load test and pinion clearance check before disassembling starter motor.
