TEST PROCEDURE 6 – Solenoid
See General Warning on page 1-1.
1.
Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position.
Chock the wheels.
2.
Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s).
See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles, Section
3.
Remove the electrical component box cover.
4.
Check that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as necessary.
5.
Set a multimeter to 200 ohms. Place the red (+) probe on one of the small posts of the solenoid and place
the black (–) probe on the other small post. The reading should be 14 to16 ohms. If the reading is not within
limits, replace the solenoid.
6.
Remove the wires from the large post of the solenoid. Do not allow the wires to touch the frame or other
components of the vehicle
.
7.
Set the multimeter to 200 ohms. Connect the red (+) probe to one of the large posts of the solenoid and connect
the black (–) probe to the other large post
8.
With the key switch in the OFF position, connect the battery, positive (+) cable first.
9.
Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. With the key in the OFF position, the reading on the
multimeter should be no continuity. Turn the key switch to the START position and listen for the solenoid click.
While holding the key in the START position, there should be continuity. After the key is released, it should rotate
to the ON position and should be no continuity. If either reading is incorrect, replace the solenoid.
10. With the Forward/Reverse handle still in the NEUTRAL position, set the multimeter to 20 volts DC and place
the red (+) probe on the large post that does
not
have wires connected to it. Place the black (–) probe on the
vehicle frame
See Solenoid Ground Test, Section 11, Page 11-16.
. Turn key switch to the START position
and listen for the solenoid click. While holding the key in the START position, the meter should read full battery
voltage. If the reading is incorrect, replace the solenoid.
