CONDITION: STARTER FAILS TO TURN OVER THE ENGINE
1. With the tester on the VDC position, place the tester’s black lead on the battery negative and the red lead on the
battery positive. Reading should be 12.4 V D.C. or greater. If no proceed to step 2. If yes proceed to step 3.
12.4 V D.C. or greater
2. Remove battery and properly service. Install fully charged shop battery to continue test.
3. Disconnect 2–wire connector at solenoid. Using a multi-meter, connect the black meter lead to the Orange harness
wire and the red meter lead to the Green/White harness wire. Apply the brake and turn ignition switch to the “start”
position Meter should read battery voltage. If no proceed to step 4. If yes proceed to step 5.
4. Check for voltage at the EFI 20 AMP fuse and then check for voltage entering the ignition switch. Battery voltage
should be present. If battery voltage is present at the ignition switch, but not the solenoid, replace the switch.
IMPORTANT
The brake MUST be applied when preforming these tests.
NOTICE
Starter solenoid will be power controlled or ground controlled at pin A of the key switch.
5. Reconnect the solenoid. Connect the tester black lead to the battery positive and the red lead to the solenoid end of
the battery-to-solenoid wire. Apply the brake and turn the ignition key to the “start” position. Reading should be less
than .1 V D.C. If no proceed to step 6. If yes proceed to step 7.
Less than .1 V D.C.
6. Clean the battery-to-solenoid cable ends or replace the cable.
7. Connect the black tester lead to solenoid end of battery-to-solenoid cable. Connect red tester lead to solenoid end
of solenoid-to-starter cable. Apply the brake and turn the ignition key to the “start” position. Reading should be less
than .1 V D.C. If no proceed to step 8. If yes proceed to step 9.
Less than .1 V D.C.
8. Replace the starter solenoid.
9. Connect the black tester lead to solenoid end of battery-to-solenoid cable. Connect the red tester lead to the starter
end of the same cable. Apply the brake and turn the ignition key to the “start” position. Reading should be less than
.1 V D.C. If no proceed to step 10. If yes proceed to step 11.
Less than .1 V D.C.
10.Clean the solenoid-to-starter ends or replace the cable.
11. If all of these indicate a good condition, yet the starter still fails to turn, the starter must be removed for static testing
and inspection.
