Magnetic Switch Hold-In Test




1. Disconnect the wire from the M-terminal of the magnetic switch.
2. Connect a 12 Vbattery between the S-terminal and body.

CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent coil from burning.

3. Draw out the pinion to the pinion stopper by hand.
4. If the pinion remains out, everything is operating properly. If the pinion moves in, the hold-in circuit is open. Replace the magnetic switch.
