Starter Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
SOLENOID TEST
SOLENOID PULL-IN TEST
1. Disconnect the connector from the M-terminal.
2. Connect a 12 V battery between the S-terminal and M-terminal.
CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
3. If the pinion moves out, the pull-in coil is good. If it doesn't, replace the solenoid.
SOLENOID HOLD-IN TEST
1. Disconnect the connector from the M-terminal.
2. Connect a 12 V battery between the S-terminal and the body.
CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
3. If the pinion remains out, everything is in order. If the pinion moves in, the hold-in circuit is open. Replace the magnetic switch.
SOLENOID RETURN TEST
1. Disconnect the connector from the M-terminal.
2. Connect a 12 V battery between the M-terminal and the body.
CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
3. Pull out the pinion and then release it. If the pinion returns quickly to its original position, everything is in order. If it doesn't, replace the solenoid
