4. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH

(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

1 - Body ground

20 °C

3.8 to 4.2 Ω

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the magnetic clutch.

(b) When connector terminal 1 is connected to the positive (+) battery terminal, check that the following occurs: 1) the magnetic clutch's operating sound can be heard, and 2) the magnetic clutch's hub and rotor lock.

OK:

1)

The magnetic clutch's operating sound can be heard.

2)

The magnetic clutch's hub and rotor lock.

If the result is not as specified, replace the magnetic clutch.
