Use an ohmmeter set to the audible or Rx2K scale, and
connect the two ohmmeter leads to the two large post
terminals. Perform the preceding test (1) and check
for continuity. See Figure 7-69. The ohmmeter should
indicate continuity, if no continuity is indicated the
solenoid should be replaced. Repeat test several times to
confirm condition.
Connect one 12 volt test lead to the flat spade S/start
terminal on the solenoid, and the other lead to the
body or mounting surface of the solenoid. Then,
manually push the plunger in and check if the Hold-
In coil holds the plunger retracted. See Figure 7-70.
Do not allow the test leads to remain connected to the
solenoid for a prolonged period of time. If the plunger
fails to stay retracted, the solenoid should be replaced.
Use an ohmmeter set to the audible or Rx2K scale, and
connect the two ohmmeter leads to the two large post
terminals. Perform the preceding test (3) and check for
continuity. See Figure 7-71. The meter should indicate
continuity, if no continuity is indicated the solenoid
should be replaced. Repeat test several times to confirm
condition.
