CAUTION: Perform tests in less than 10 seconds to prevent coil damage. 1) Disconnect field coil wire from terminal "M" at starter solenoid. See Fig. 2. Connect jumper wire between positive battery terminal of 12-volt battery and terminal "S" of starter solenoid. 2) Connect a second jumper wire from negative battery terminal and touch starter case. If solenoid plunger is pulled-in, hold-in coil is good. If not, replace solenoid. RETURN TEST CAUTION: Perform tests in less than 10 seconds to prevent coil damage. 1) Disconnect field coil wire from terminal "M" at starter solenoid. See Fig. 2. Connect jumper wire between positive battery terminal of 12-volt battery and terminal "M" of starter solenoid. 2) Connect a second jumper wire from negative battery terminal and touch starter case. Pull pinion outward and release it. Replace solenoid if pinion remains outward. PINION GAP CHECK 1) Disconnect field coil wire from terminal "M" at starter solenoid. See Fig. 2. Connect jumper wire between positive battery terminal of 12-volt battery and terminal "S" of starter solenoid. 2) Connect a second jumper wire from negative battery terminal and touch terminal "M" of starter solenoid. See Fig. 2. Measure clearance between pinion and stopper. See Fig. 3. 3) Clearance should be within specification. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS table. Adjust clearance by adding or removing gaskets between solenoid and front housing. Fig. 3: Measuring Pinion Gap Courtesy of Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America. REMOVAL & INSTALLATION |
