| 1. | Disconnect the wire from the M terminal. |
| 2. | Make a connection as shown using as heavy a wire as possible (preferably equivalent to the wire used for the vehicle). NOTE: To avoid damaging the starter, never leave the battery connected for more than 10 seconds.
|
| 3. | Connect the battery as shown. Make sure you disconnect the starter motor wire from the solenoid. If the starter pinion moves out, it is working properly. |
| 4. | Disconnect the battery from the M terminal. If the pinion does not retract, the hold-in coil of the solenoid is working properly.
|
| 5. | Disconnect the battery from the starter body. If the pinion retracts immediately, it is working properly.
|
| 6. | Firmly clamp the starter in a vise. |
| 7. | Reconnect the wire to the M terminal. |
| 8. | Connect the starter to the battery as shown in the diagram, and confirm that the motor starts and keeps rotating.
|
| 9. | If the electric current and motor speed meet the specifications when the battery voltage is at 11.5 V, the starter is working properly.
