Circuit Testing

  1. If starter does not operate, check voltage at starter solenoid "S" terminal with ignition switch in START position, transmission in Park or Neutral (A/T) or clutch depressed (M/T). See Fig 1 . If battery voltage is present, replace starter. If battery volt age is not present, check ignition switch, transmission range switch (A/T), clutch pedal position switch (M/T) and wiring.
  2. If starter motor runs and engine does not crank, remove starter for visual inspection and testing. Inspect flywheel/ring-gear for damaged or missing teeth.
