Solenoid Pull-In Coil Test

  2. Connect another negative battery lead to the starter drive housing. Connect positive battery lead to solenoid ST terminal (terminal No. 50 on Prizm). See Figure.
  3. Pinion gear should extend quickly and completely when solenoid is energized. If pinion gear does not operate as indicated, replace solenoid.
