- Do the battery terminal disconnection procedure (see BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION ).
- Remove the harness clamp (A), then disconnect the positive starter cable (B), the motor wire (C), and the 1P connector (D).
- Check the hold-in coil for continuity between the S terminal and the armature housing (ground). There should be continuity.
- If there is continuity, Go to step 4.
- If there is no continuity, replace the solenoid.
- Check the pull-in coil for continuity between the S terminal and the M terminal. There should be continuity.
- If there is continuity, the solenoid is OK.
- If there is no continuity, replace the solenoid.
- Connect the wire and the connector in the reverse order of removal.
- Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure (see BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION ).
