Starter Motor Test

  1. Ensure battery is fully charged and in good condition. Ensure battery cables and connections are in good condition. Measure voltage at starter solenoid battery cable terminal. If voltage is battery voltage, go to next step. If voltage is less than 12 volts, recheck battery cables and connections. Service as necessary.
  2. Connect one lead of remote starter switch to starter solenoid battery cable terminal. Connect other lead to "S" terminal on starter solenoid. Operate remote starter switch. If engine does not crank, repair or replace starter. If engine cranks normally, starter is okay. If engine cranks sluggishly, recheck battery, cables and connections. Repair or replace starter if battery, cables and connections are good.
