## Starter Performance Test

1. | Disconnect the wires from the S terminal and the M terminal.

2. | Make the connections as described below using as heavy a wire as possible (preferably equivalent to the wire used for the vehicle). To avoid damaging the starter, never leave the battery connected for more than 10 seconds.

3. | Connect the battery as shown. 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. | Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.

7. | Connect the starter to the battery as described in the diagram below, and confirm that the motor starts and keeps rotating.

8. | 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: |
Electric current: | 50 A or less
Motor speed: | 6,000 rpm (min-1) or more
