b If the reading between terminal 11-D and earth is
below 8.0V, connect the voltmeter between
terminal 11-E and earth. An increase in the
reading to 8.0V indicates either a faulty start relay
or a fault in the feed from the transmission
selector switch to the relay solenoid. Check also
the solenoid earth connection.
If the reading between 11-E and earth is less than
8.0V, the fault must be in either the starter switch
or in the wiring between the solenoid, starter
switch, and the start relay.
Fig 11.
4 Connect the voltmeter between battery negative and
starter earth connection 12-B. The reading in the
'start' position should be practically zero, maximum
permissible reading 0.25V.
If the reading is above 0.25V, a high resistance in the
earth lead or connections is indicated.
Fig 12.
5 Connect the voltmeter between battery positive and
the starter main terminal 13-A. With the starter switch
'off', the voltmeter should indicate battery voltage, but
it should fall to practically zero when the switch is
turned to the 'on' position, maximum permissible
reading 0.25V.
Fig 13.
If the reading is above 0.25V, a high resistance is
present in the insulated lead or in the solenoid.
Connect the voltmeter between the battery positive
and solenoid connection 14-H. If the voltmeter now
reads zero with the switch closed, the fault is in the
solenoid.

6 Finally refit the engine stop fuse.
