Pull-out test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • In case the battery is being charged, the pinion may turn during a protruded state. This is normal because the current flows to the motor through the pull-in coil and the motor turns.
  1. Verify that the drive pinion is pulled out with battery positive voltage connected to terminal S and the starter body grounded.
    • If not pulled out, repair or replace the starter.
