Starter Solenoid

1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.






2. Use 73 Digital Multimeter to check the windings of the starter solenoid assembly for continuity.
^ Check the resistance of the solenoid pull-in and hold-in windings in series by measuring the resistance between the M-terminal and the solenoid case. Resistance should be approximately 0.95 ohm.
^ An extremely high resistance reading indicates a break or fault in winding continuity. A very low resistance reading indicates a short or ground in the winding circuit. Either condition is cause for replacement of the starter solenoid assembly.
