Starter Load Test
- Ensure battery is fully charged and in good condition. Using a suitable volt-ammeter load tester, connect negative and positive leads to battery and inductive ammeter to positive battery cable. Ensure transmission is in Park or Neutral. Connect remote control starter switch between starter solenoid "S" terminal and positive battery terminal.
- Ensure ignition switch is off. Crank engine with remote starter switch for 15 seconds while observing ammeter and voltmeter readings. If voltage drops below 9.6 volts recharge and test battery. If voltage remains above 9.6 volts, observe ammeter reading. Replace starter if current draw is more than specified. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS .
