STARTING SYSTEM
STARTER MOTOR (Continued)
STARTER SOLENOID
This test can only be performed with starter motor
removed from vehicle.
(1) Remove starter motor from vehicle. Refer to
Starter Motor Removal and Installation.
(2) Disconnect wire from solenoid field coil terminal.
(3) Check for continuity between solenoid terminal
and solenoid field coil terminal with a continuity tester
(Fig. 7). There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 4.
If not OK, replace faulty starter motor assembly.

(4) Check for continuity between solenoid terminal
and solenoid case (Fig. 8). There should be continuity.
If not OK, replace faulty starter motor assembly.

REMOVAL
The starter motor and solenoid assembly is located
at the left/rear side of engine (Fig. 9).
(1) Disconnect and isolate negative battery cable.
(2) Working from under vehicle hood, remove bolt
retaining wiring trough (Fig. 11) to transmission bell-
housing.
(3) Working from under vehicle hood, cut neces-
sary nylon; wiring trough tie-wraps near starter
motor. Temporarily position wiring harness trough
for access to starter.
(4) Working from under vehicle hood, remove 2
starter solenoid wiring harness nuts (Fig. 10).
(5) Remove solenoid wire connector from solenoid
stud, and battery cable from solenoid stud.
(6) Raise and support vehicle.
(7) Remove 2 starter mounting bolts (E14Torx)
(Fig. 10).
(8) Remove starter from transmission bellhousing.
