Load Test

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Subaru Outback, 2004 Subaru Legacy, 2003 Subaru Outback, 2003 Subaru Legacy, and 2002 Subaru Outback. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Change engagement position of overrunning clutch and make sure it is not slipping.

Perform this test to check maximum output of starter. Use test bench which is able to apply load (brake) to starter. Measure torque value and rotating speed under the specified voltage and current conditions while controlling braking force applied to starter. See Fig 1 .
