STARTING SYSTEM — Starter — Removal N·CVT / Installation / Solenoid Check

EL-28prose procedure

N·CVT removal requires getting under the car to remove the manifold support bracket — M/T procedure is simpler. Solenoid 3-step bench test: M↔body should conduct (motor return), B↔M / B↔body should not conduct, S↔body should conduct (coil ground).

INSTALLATION

Solenoid Check

  1. 1
    Continuity test (between "M" terminal and switch body). No continuity ⇒ Replace.
    Solenoid continuity test 1 — ohmmeter between 'M' terminal and starter body. Solenoid contacts shown with B (battery feed) and S (signal) terminals labelled.
    SEL199P
  2. 2
    Insulation tests (between "B" and "M" terminals, and "B" terminal and solenoid body). Continuity exists ⇒ Replace.
    Solenoid insulation test 2 — ohmmeter between 'B' and 'M' terminals, and between 'B' terminal and solenoid body. Continuity exists ⇒ replace.
    SEL200P
  3. 3
    Continuity test between "S" terminal and switch body. No continuity ⇒ Replace.
    Solenoid continuity test 3 — ohmmeter between 'S' terminal and switch body; jumper from battery to 'M' terminal. No continuity ⇒ replace.
