Starter Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

Starter Solenoid Test

1. Do the battery terminal disconnection procedure. Procedures

2. Disconnect the positive starter cable (A), the BLK/WHT wire (B), and the motor wire (C).

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 5.

- 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. Connect the positive starter cable, the BLK/WHT wire, and the motor wire.

6. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure. Procedures

7. '00-05 models: Do the engine control module (ECM) idle learn procedure.
