Checking the return of the traction relay anchor (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 "M" terminal and the starter housing (Fig. 7.60).

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

Pull the pinion out by hand and release it. If the pinion immediately returns to its original position, the traction relay is OK. If not, replace the traction relay.
