Voltage Drop Test
The Voltage Drop Test is used to test for bad
connections. When performing the test, you are testing
the amount of voltage drop through the connection. A
poor or corroded connection will appear as a high
voltage reading. Voltage shown on the meter when
testing connections should not exceed .1 VDC per
connection or component.
To perform the test, place the meter on DC volts and
place the meter leads across the connection to be tested.
Refer to the voltage drop tests on the starter system in
this chapter.
Voltage should not exceed
.1 DC volts per connection
Starter Solenoid Bench Test
To measure the resistance of the pull-in coil, connect one
meter lead to the solenoid lead wire and the other to
ground. The resistance should be 2.8-3.6 ohms. Refer to
“Electric Starter System Testing” in this section to further
test the solenoid.
Starter Motor Removal
NOTE: Use electrical contact cleaner to clean
starter motor parts. Some solvents may leave a
residue or damage internal parts and insulation.
1. Disconnect battery cables at the battery.
2. Remove (+) positive battery from the starter battery
post.
3. Remove the starter from the engine.
