Starter Solenoid Test
- Check the hold-in coil for continuity between the "S" terminal and the armature housing (ground). See Fig 1 (2.3L) or Fig 2 (3.0L). There should be continuity. If there is continuity, go to next step. If there is no continuity, replace the solenoid.
- Check the pull-in coil for continuity between the "S" terminal and "M" terminal. There should be continuity. If there is continuity, the solenoid is OK. If there is no continuity, replace the solenoid.
