Starter Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

Starter Solenoid Test

1. Do the battery removal procedure Removal and Replacement.

2. Remove the battery base.

3. Disconnect the positive starter cable (A), the motor wire (B), and the S terminal connector (C).

- If there is continuity, go to step 5.
- If there is no continuity, replace the solenoid.

5. Check the pull-in coil for continuity between the S terminal and the M terminal. There should be continuity:

- If there is continuity, the solenoid is OK.
- If there is no continuity, replace the solenoid.
