Checking the holding winding of the traction relay (Mitsubishi Matrix)

Disconnect the stator winding wire from the "M" terminal of the traction relay.



Connect the wires from the 12 V terminals of the battery to the "S" (+) terminal and the starter housing (Fig. 7.59).

Attention! This check must be carried out quickly, no more than 10 seconds, to prevent burnout of the starter winding.

If the drive pinion, manually pulled out to the stop, remains in the extended position, then the holding winding is in good order. If the pinion retracts, then there is a break in the holding winding. In this case, replace the traction relay.
