Turn the key switch to the START position to read the tester.
If the solenoid clicks once, the tester reads 0 , and the pinion gear
advances forward, the solenoid and the wiring are normal.
If the solenoid does not make a clicking sound, and the reading on
the tester is greater than 0
, the solenoid is defective and it must be
replaced.
