9. STARTING MOTOR (b) Series coil continuity test Check continuity between the S and M ter- minals. Good if continuity exists. If no continuity (coil disconnection), replace the magnetic switch. (c) Contact continuity test Depress the magnetic switch with the plunger at the bottom. Check continuity between the B and M terminals with a multi- meter. Good if continuity exists. If no continuity (coil continuity defect), replace the magnetic switch. (6) Pinion clutch (a) Pinion inspection Manually rotate the pinion. Inspect if it is rotated smoothly in the driving direction, and is locked in the opposite direction. Replace the pinion clutch if abnormal. 82E-5 – 98E-5 SERIES 9-13
