If any measurement is out of specification, replace
solenoid.
Reconnect all wires and cables.
NOTE:
Torque the large solenoid cable terminals
to 4 N•m (35 lbf•
in
).
Solenoid Dynamic Test
Remove fuse F3 to prevent engine from starting.
NOTE:
Check engine will be displayed in multi-
function gauge, starter will crank engine but with
an initial delay of approximately 4 seconds.

Turn ignition switch to ON.
Set engine stop switch to RUN.
Set Fluke 111 multimeter (P/N 529 035 868) to
