9. SWITCH ASSEMBLY OPERATION
NOTE: Test period of each test must be within short time (3 - 5 seconds).
1. Vacuum test
Disconnect the harness from terminal M and connect it as shown in the figure. Make sure the pinion gear sticks out.
2. Hold test
Make sure the pinion gear remains stick out even after disconnecting terminal M in the above condition.
3. Return test
Connect the positive terminal to terminal S and the negative terminal to terminal M and starter body to pull the pinion gear at the main contact
point. Make sure the pinion gear returns to its original position when the terminal S is disconnected.
10. PERFORMANCE TEST
The starter should be submitted to performance tests whenever it has been overhauled, to assure its satisfactory performance when installed on the
engine. Three performance tests, no-load test, load test, and lock test, are presented here; however, if the load test and lock test cannot be
performed, carry out at least the no-load test. For these performance tests, use the circuit shown in figure.
