Pic. 7.59. Scheme for checking the holding winding of the traction relay
Connect the wires from the 12 V battery terminals to the terminal «S» (+) and starter housing (pic. 7.59).
Attention! This check must be carried out quickly, no more than 10 s, to prevent burnout of the starter winding.
If the pinion gear, extended manually to the stop, remains in the extended position, then the holding winding is in good condition. If the gear retracts, then there is a break in the holding winding. In this case, replace the traction relay.
