    1) Several solenoid valves on drilling pods were pulsating during testing. Upon further inspection, some valves were found to have the wires connecting the two coils reversed. 2) Tests showed that reversing the coil polarity results in opposing magnetic fields that cancel each other out, preventing proper valve function. 3) Proposed corrective actions include identifying and correcting any reversed coil polarities during valve production and testing, as well as revising test procedures to check valve function with both coils energized.
