Starter Solenoid

WARNING: Check to ensure that the transmission is in the park position with the parking brake applied.
  1. Verify battery condition. Battery must be in good condition with a full charge before performing any starter tests. Refer to BATTERY SYSTEM .
  2. Perform Starter Solenoid test BEFORE performing the starter relay test.
  3. Perform a visual inspection of the starter/starter solenoid for corrosion, loose connections or faulty wiring.
  4. Locate and remove the starter relay from the Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to the PDC label for relay identification and location.
  5. Connect a remote starter switch or a jumper wire between the remote battery positive post and terminal 87 of the starter relay connector.
    1. If engine cranks, starter/starter solenoid is good. Go to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - STARTER RELAY .
    2. If engine does not crank or solenoid chatters, check wiring and connectors from starter relay to starter solenoid for loose or corroded connections. Particularly at starter terminals.
    3. Repeat test. If engine still fails to crank properly, trouble is within starter or starter mounted solenoid, and replace starter. Inspect the ring gear teeth.
