Starter Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
Starter Solenoid Test
1. Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the audio system, and that the ignition switch is OFF.
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
3. Remove the starter cable terminal (A), BLK/WHT wire connector (B), and motor cable (C).
4. 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 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.
6. Install in the reverse order of removal.
7. Connect the negative cable to the battery.
