Update-
The starter is requesting that the motor leads get swapped.
Not for rotation, it has no idea or concern about which way the motor
itself is rotating. All it does is sense the continuity through terminals
T1 through T6, to make sure the motor isnt hooked up wrong.


Now if the fault contactor is stuck in, with only the center pole making up, then the starter assumes it's a problem with the motor.

Replaced stuck fault contactor, problem gone now.
