Insulated Circuit Test

Turn voltmeter switch to 4 volt position. Disconnect ignition coil secondary cable. Connect voltmeter positive lead to battery positive post and negative lead to solenoid connector which connects to starter field coils.

NOTE: Voltmeter will read off scale until starter actuated.

Crank engine with remote starter and note voltmeter reading. Reading should not exceed.3 volt. If reading higher, it indicates high resistance in starter insulated circuit. Remove voltmeter lead from solenoid connector and connect to following points, repeating test at each connection: Starter terminal of solenoid, battery cable terminal at solenoid, starter relay and cable clamp at battery. A small change will occur each time a normal portion of circuit is removed from test. A definite change in voltmeter reading indicates last part eliminated in test is at fault. Maximum allowable voltage loss is as follows: Battery insulated cable (.2 volt), Solenoid switch (.1 volt), each connection (.0 volt).
