STARTER SOLENOID SERVICE

Starter Solenoid Bench Test
Test the start solenoid by powering the solenoid using
battery voltage for a maximum of 5 seconds. With the
solenoid energized at room temperature (77 ° F),
resistance should read within specification between
terminals. If resistance
specification, replace the starter solenoid
Starter Solenoid Terminal Resistance (77 °F)
0 - 0.5 Ω
Starter Solenoid Operation
To energize the Starter Solenoid the following must
occur:
• The brake must be applied to provide a ground path
via the orange wire.
• The key switch must be turned to the "start" position to
provide 12V power via the Green / White wire.
• Once the pull-in coil is energized, the solenoid
provides a current path for 12V power to reach the
starter motor.
