Starter Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

Fig. 5 Starter Solenoid Test:

1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Disconnect "M" terminal of starter motor, Fig. 5.
3. Using a suitable ohmmeter, check continuity between "S" terminal of starter motor and switch body. Continuity should exist. If continuity does not exist, starter solenoid is defective. Replace as necessary.
4. Check for continuity between "S" and "M" terminals of starter motor. Continuity should exist. If continuity does not exist, starter solenoid is defective. Replace as necessary.
