Starter Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

Solenoid




1. Check for continuity between S and M terminals with ohmmeter. Replace solenoid if there is no continuity.




2. Check for continuity between S terminal and solenoid body with ohmmeter. Replace solenoid if there is no continuity.




3. Check continuity between M and B terminals with ohmmeter. Replace solenoid if there is continuity.

Brush and brush holder




1. Check continuity between each insulated brush and plate with ohmmeter. Replace brush holder if there is continuity.
2. Measure the force of brush spring with spring balance.

Brush spring force: 2.0 lb (8.8 N)




3. Replace spring if force is insufficient.
