  3. Check the hold-in coil for continuity between the S terminal and the armature housing (ground). There should be continuity.
    • If there is continuity, go to step 4.
    • If there is no continuity, replace the solenoid.
  4. Check the pull-in coil for continuity between the S terminal and the M terminal. There should be continuity.
    • If there is continuity, the solenoid is OK.
    • If there is no continuity, replace the solenoid.
  5. Install wire and the connector in the reverse order of removal.
  6. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure (see RECONNECTION ).
