The key switch must be in the OFF position.
The battery must be at full charge.
The cable connections on the battery must be clean and tight.
Connect a jumper wire between S terminal and BAT terminal [Figure 60-41-1].
If the starter turns but does not turn the engine, the starter drive has a defect.
Connect a jumper wire between the M terminal and the BAT terminal [Figure 60-41-2].
If the starter turns, the defect is in the solenoid.
If the starter does not turn, the starter is defective.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. (See Removal And Installation on Page 60-20-1.)
Disconnect the S terminal on the starter (Item 1) [Figure 60-41-3].
Hold-In Test: Use circuit tester, touch one probe to the S terminal (Item 1) and one probe to the mounting bolt (Item 2) [Figure 60-41-3] on the magnetic switch (solenoid). If there is no continuity replace the magnetic switch (solenoid).
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. (See Removal And Installation on Page 60-20-1.)
Disconnect the S terminal on the starter (Item 1) [Figure 60-41-4].
Pull-In Test: Use circuit tester, touch one probe to the S terminal (Item 1) and one probe to the starter motor terminal (Item 2) [Figure 60-41-4]. If there is no continuity replace the magnetic switch (solenoid).
