Test 4. Solenoid Hold-In Coil/Contact Continuity
Test.

Use an ohmmeter set to the audible or Rx2K scale, and
connect the two ohmmeter leads to the two large post
terminals. Perform the preceding test (3) and check for
continuity. See Figure 8-77. The meter should indicate
continuity, if no continuity is indicated the solenoid
should be replaced. Repeat test several times to
confirm condition.
