PERFORMANCE TEST

NOTE: Before starting the following checks, disconnect the wire from terminal M, and make a connection as described below using as heavy a wire as possible (preferably equivalent to the wire used for the car).







Pull-in Coil Test
Connect the battery as shown. If the starter pinion pops out, it is working properly.

CAUTION: Do not leave the battery connected for more than 10 seconds.







Hold-in Coil Test
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal. If the pinion does not retract, the hold-in coil is working properly.

CAUTION: Do not leave the battery connected for more than 10 seconds.

Disconnect the battery negative cable. If the pinion retracts immediately, it is working properly.

CAUTION: Do not leave the battery connected for more than 10 seconds.


Starter No-load Test
1. Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.







2. Connect the starter to the battery as shown, and confirm that the motor starts and keeps rotating.
3. If the electric current and motor speed meet the specifications when the battery voltage is at 11.5 V, the starter is working properly.

Specifications: 90 A or less (Electric current), 3000 rpm or more (Motor speed).
