Starter Ground Circuit Test
NOTE:
Make all voltmeter connections at component terminal rather than at cable or wire end.
- Disconnect ignition coil connector. Connect remote starter switch between starter solenoid terminal "S" and positive battery post. See Fig 1 . Connect positive voltmeter lead to starter housing, and negative lead to negative battery post.
- Engage remote starter switch while observing voltmeter. Voltmeter should indicate .2 volt or less. If voltmeter indicates greater than .2 volt, clean negative cable connections at battery and engine.
- If voltage drop is still excessive, repair or replace negative battery cable and/or engine ground cable as necessary. Repeat starter circuit test after repair to ensure problem has been corrected.
- If battery and cables test okay and starter motor still cranks slowly or not at all, replace starter motor. See STARTER MOTOR under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
