Pull-out test

NOTE:

Depending on the battery charge condition, the starter motor pinion may rotate while in an extended state. This is due to current flowing to the starter motor through the pull-in coil to turn the starter motor, and does not indicate an abnormality.

Verify that the starter motor pinion is extended while battery positive voltage is connected to terminal S and the starter body is grounded.

- If the starter motor pinion is not extended, repair or replace the starter.
