(3)Magnetic switch
(a)disconnect the connector from the M
terminal of the magnetic switch.
(b)Connect the magnetic switch to a 12 volt
battery with a switch as shown in the
illustration to test the pull-in coil. Close
the switch to see if the pinion shifts. If
the piston fails to shift, the magnetic
switch is faulty.
Due to the amount of current being passed
through the solenoid series winding, this test
must be made within 10 seconds.
(c)Connect the magnetic switch to a 12 volt
battery with a switch as shown in the
illustration to test the hold-in coil. Close
the switch and pull the pinion away from
the commutator end by hand. Release
the pinion to see if it remains there. If
the pinion returns, the magnetic switch
is faulty.
Due to the amount of current being passed
through the solenoid series winding, this test
must be made within 10 seconds.
(d)Connect the magnetic switch to a 12 volt
battery with a switch as shown in the
illustration to make a pinion return test.
Close the switch and pull the pinion
away from the commutator end by hand.
Release the pinion to see if it returns
immediately when released. If the
pinion fails to so return, the magnetic
switch is faulty.
Due to the amount of current being passed
through the solenoid series winding, this test
must be made within 10 seconds.
