Pull-In Windings Test
Connect test equipment. See HOLD-IN WINDINGS TEST heading above. See Fig 1. Ground terminal "M" of solenoid. Adjust voltage to 10 volts and note ammeter reading. See PULL-IN WINDINGS SPECIFICATIONS table.
NOTE:
Current will decrease as windings heat up.

Test Results
If current draw reads greater than specification, short or ground is present in windings of solenoid. Low current draw indicates excessive resistance. No current indicates an open circuit. Check connections. Replace starter solenoid as necessary.
