Starter Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

Starter Solenoid Test

1. Do the battery terminal disconnection procedure.

2. Disconnect the positive starter cable (A), the motor wire (B), and the S terminal 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 starter solenoid Overhaul.

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

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

5. Connect the wire and the connector in the reverse order of removal.

6. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure.
