1. Connect the tester as shown below. A with the RED clamp to battery
positive and the BLACK clamp to the terminal on the starter, which is
connected to the solenoid directly or by cable.
2. Observe the voltage reading while cranking the engine.
3. On most vehicles, the reading should not exceed 0.5 volts (see
example below).
4. If the voltage drop exceeds 0.5 volts, check the voltage drop through
each cable, across each connection including the solenoid.
5. Repair and/or replace as necessary.
