ELECTRIC STARTER
11. Place one lead of DMM to positive battery post. Ensure
DMM is set to read DC Volts.
Starter
Relay
12. Place other lead of DMM to relay terminal leading to
battery.
13. Engage starter and observe meter display, it should
read less than 0.2 Vdc (200 mV DC).
14. If voltage drop is observed, the cable, connection at the
battery or connection at the relay is causing resistance
and must be corrected.
15. Inspect cable ends for corrosion where cable is
connected to terminal lugs.
16. Remove cable. Set the DMM to read Ohms.
17. Place DMM leads at both ends of the cable and
measure the cable's resistance. The resistance should
be 0 ohms. Replace cable if necessary.
18. Inspect battery post, battery cable lug and relay lug for
corrosion or looseness.
NOTE: Corrosion has resistance that limits or stops the
flow of current to the starter motor.

19. If corrosion is found, wash all connections with a
solution of baking soda and water, wire brush all
contact areas, apply a light film of dielectric grease to
the hardware and tighten connections. Retest to verify
problem has been corrected.
Starter
Relay
20. Place one lead of DMM to battery side of relay. Reset
DMM to read DC Volts if necessary.
21. Place other lead to starter motor side of relay.
22. Engage starter and observe meter display; it should
read less than 0.2 Vdc (200 mV DC).
23. If voltage drop is observed, remove cables and clean
cable terminals and relay terminals. Reattach cables.
Retest voltage drop.
24. If voltage drop is still observed through the relay,
replace relay.
