Starter Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
STARTER SOLENOID
1. Check the starter solenoid for continuity between the S- and M-terminals using the 73 Digital Multimeter. Replace the starter solenoid if there is
no continuity.
2. Check for continuity between the S-terminal and the starter solenoid body. Replace the starter solenoid starter solenoid if there is no continuity.
SOLENOID M-TERMINAL
1. Make sure that the starter solenoid is isolated from the starter motor. Use 73 Digital Multimeter to check for continuity between the S- and
M-terminals. Also check for continuity between the S-terminal and starter motor body. If either check shows no continuity, the starter solenoid
should be replaced.
2. Check for continuity between the M-terminal and the B-terminal. If there is no continuity, the starter solenoid should be replaced.
