Magnetic Switch Pull-In Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
To prevent coil from burning, DO NOT apply voltage to starter assembly for more than 10 seconds.
- Disconnect field coil wire from "M" terminal of the magnetic switch. See Fig 1
or Fig 2
.
- Connect a 12-volt battery between "S" terminal and "M" terminal.
- If the pinion moves out, the pull-in coil is good. If it doesn't, replace the magnetic switch.
