Solenoid Pull-In Coil Test
- Disconnect field lead from solenoid field lead terminal. See Figure. Ensure field lead does not touch starter housing. Connect negative lead of 12-volt battery to solenoid field lead terminal (terminal "C" on Prizm). See Figure for terminal "C" location.
- Connect another negative battery lead to the starter drive housing. Connect positive battery lead to solenoid ST terminal (terminal No. 50 on Prizm). See Figure.
- Pinion gear should extend quickly and completely when solenoid is energized. If pinion gear does not operate as indicated, replace solenoid.
