Starter Solenoid: Testing and Inspection




Starter Solenoid Test

1. Do the battery terminal disconnection procedure Procedures.

2. Remove the starter cable (A) and motor cable (B), then disconnect the connector (C).





3. Check the hold-in coil for continuity between the S terminal and the armature housing (ground). There should be continuity.

- If there is continuity, go to step 4.
- If there is no continuity, replace the solenoid.

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

- If there is continuity, the solenoid is OK.
