No-Load Test
Remove starter. Connect fully-charged 12-volt battery, voltmeter and ammeter to starter. See Fig 1 . Using remote starter wires or jumper, engage solenoid. Starter should spin smoothly. Compare readings with specifications. See NO-LOAD TEST SPECIFICATIONS table. If voltage is less than specified or amperage is more than specified, repair or replace starter as necessary.
