1 General

Information

All HFV6 engines are fitted with a Mitsubishi starter motor. This consists of a solenoid switch on a DC motor. The motor
has permanent magnet excitation, which has the advantage of low weight a with high output torque and is visually
identifiable by the absence of pole-shoe retaining screws.

The starter motor does not have field coil windings or pole shoes. These parts have been replaced by six permanent
magnets that are held in the pole housing by clips. The positive brushes are now part of the brush plate assembly.

The solenoid switch is the only component of the starter motor assembly that is serviced separately. If any other parts
require replacement, the starter motor must be replaced.

followed, could result in damage to or destruction of equipment, or corruption of data. If a CAUTION statement is ignored,
the following consequences may occur:

•

Damage to the vehicle,

•

Unnecessary vehicle repairs or component replacement,

•

Faulty operation or performance of any system or component being repaired,

•

Damage to any system or components which depend on the proper operation of the system or component being
repaired,

•

Faulty operation or performance of any systems or components which depend on the proper operation or
performance of the system or component under repair,

•

Damage to fasteners, basic tools or special tools and / or

•

Leakage of coolant, lubricant or other vital fluids.
