Complete each test within three to five seconds. If time limit is exceeded, possible damage to the starter solenoid may result.
Temporarily connect the solenoid switch between the clutch and the housing and run the following tests:
1.
Pull-in test.
a. Connect the battery negative terminal with the solenoid switch body and the ``C'' terminal. When current is applied to the terminal as shown in
Fig. 15 from the battery positive terminal, the pinion should flutter.
2.
Hold-in maintenance test.
a. Disconnect the lead at the ``C'' terminal as shown in Fig. 16. The pinion should continue to flutter.
3.
Return Test.
a. Connect the battery ground terminal to the 50 terminal and the body as shown in Fig. 17.
b. Connect the battery positive terminal to the ``C'' terminal. The pinion will flutter.
d. When the lead to the 50 terminal is disconnected, the pinion should immediately return to its stationary position.
4.
If the pinion does not operate as specified, repair or replace starter motor as necessary.
