replace the commutator if the measured value is less
than the limit.

(b) Armature coil continuity test
Check continuity between commutator segments with
a multimeter. Good if continuity exists.
In case of no continuity (coil disconnection), replace
the armature.
(c) Armature coil insulation test
Inspect the continuity between a commutator segment
and the shaft or core with a multimeter. Good if no
continuity exists.
If continuity exists (coil short circuit), replace the
armature.
