The motor needs to be started, but everything stays still and the wheels are not moving.

The product quality at DT Spare Parts is continuously checked and tested. The starter test bench is used to “test the item in accordance with the Diesel Technic Quality System”, explains Parts Specialist Kevin.

If there are problems starting the motor, the battery is inspected first. It is reviewed to see whether there is sufficient battery acid. Then, the battery terminals are checked for oxidation and the battery voltage. If battery problems are excluded, an eye is cast on the starter’s power supply. “First, the cable from the battery to the starter is checked”, explains Parts Specialist Lars in the workshop video, which shows the replacement of a starter on a truck. A further check is made on the starter control unit while the motor starts. “If no fault can be detected in the starter voltage supply, it can be assumed that the starter has a defect”, continues the Parts Specialist.

A loose contact is a frequently occurring fault in starters. To avoid this type of problem, the contacts must be tightened to the correct torque. Another reason for problems with the starter is rubbed cables. This results in electrical shorts or contact problems.

DT Spare Parts also offers starters with thermal overload protection. This device ensures that the permissible temperature of the starter is not exceeded. To ensure correct installation, the instructions are available online.
