Starter Solenoid Hold-In & Return Test
- Ensure field coil lead wire is disconnected from starter solenoid. See Figure . Connect battery voltage and ground to starter, as when performing starter solenoid pull-in test. See Figure .
- Once drive pinion moves outward, toward front of starter, disconnect jumper wire from terminal "M" on starter solenoid. See Figure . Drive pinion should remain outward, toward front of starter. Replace starter solenoid if drive pinion does not remain outward.
- Disconnect jumper wire from negative battery terminal at the starter. Drive pinion should move inward, toward rear of starter. Replace starter solenoid if drive pinion does not move inward.
