2. Make the connection as shown below, using the largest possible wire cross-section (preferably the type used in cars).
3. Connect the battery as shown in the figure. If the starter pinion extends, the starter operates normally. To avoid damaging the starter, do not leave the battery connected for more than 10 seconds.
4. Disconnect the battery from the M terminal. If the pinion does not retract, the holding coil is working properly. To avoid damaging the starter, do not leave the battery connected for more than 10 seconds.
5. Also disconnect the battery from the housing. If the pinion retracts immediately, the starter is working properly. To avoid damaging the starter, do not leave the battery connected for more than 10 seconds.
6. Securely clamp the starter in a vice.
7. Connect the starter to the battery as shown in the diagram below and check that the electric motor starts and continues to rotate.
8. If the current and speed of the electric motor correspond to the nominal values at a battery voltage of 11.5 V, the starter is working properly.
Nominal data:
| Current | Electric motor speed |
| 80 A or less | 2600 rpm (min⁻¹) or more |
