  • Page 10: Starting System Tests

    Starting System Starting System Tests Voltage Drop Test Low power supply voltage and water contamination are the primary causes of most starter motor failures. Low power supply voltage causes excessive heat to build up in the starter motor. It can also cause starter motor solenoid contact problems. IMPORTANT: Perform these tests with a digital voltmeter before removing the starter from the engine.

    Starting System Standard Starter Slave Solenoid Removal Remove and retain the starter solenoid insulator. Remove and retain the starter solenoid top terminal nuts and lockwashers. Mark the position of the engine harness wires on the starter solenoid top terminals, and remove the wires from the starter solenoid.
