Magnetic Switch Hold-In Test

1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal of the magnetic switch.
2. Connect a 12 V battery between the S-terminal and the body.

CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.




3 If the pinion moves out, everything is in order. If the pinion moves back and forth repeatedly, the hold-in circuit is open. If it is open, replace the magnetic switch.
