Solenoid Test
- With starter removed from vehicle, remove starter motor field coil wire from solenoid field coil terminal. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between solenoid terminal and field coil terminal of starter solenoid. Continuity should be present.
- Check for continuity between solenoid terminal and solenoid housing. Continuity should be present. If continuity is not present in either test, replace solenoid. On Nippondenso starter equipped vehicles, replace starter and solenoid as an assembly.
