IDLER SOLENOID TEST (CONTINUED)

TEST PROCEDURE

1. Turn the engine off.

2. Unlatch, lift, and secure the right side engine

service access door.

3. Locate and remove the four spade connec-

tors that attach the idler solenoid leads to the
wiring harness leads (#226A, #232S, #227
and #232L). See Figure F.5 and the Wiring
Diagram. Remove and necessary wire
wraps.

4. Check the pull-in coil resistance (larger ter-

minals #227 to #232L). The normal resis-
tance is approximately 0.4 ohms.

Check the hold-in coil resistance (smaller
terminals #226A to #232S). Normal coil
resistance is approximately 20 ohms.

If either coil resistance is not correct, the
solenoid may be faulty. Replace.

5. Using the external 12VDC supply, apply

12VDC to the larger idler solenoid terminals
(#227 to #232L +). The solenoid should acti-
vate.

When the solenoid activates, remove the voltage
supply immediately. Do not leave the external
supply connected to terminals #227 and #232L for
longer than three seconds. Component damage
could result.

The solenoid should deactivate when the
12VDC is removed.

6. If the solenoid does not operate properly,

check for a mechanical restriction in the link-
age.

7. Using the external 12VDC supply, apply

12VDC to the smaller idler solenoid terminals
for the hold-in coil (#226A to #232S +). Push
in the solenoid plunger. With 12 VDC applied
to the hold-in coil, the plunger should stay in
until the 12 VDC is removed.

8. If the linkage is intact and the solenoid does

not operate correctly when the 12VDC is
applied, the solenoid may be faulty. Replace.

9. Replace harness leads to the correct termi-

nals. See Figure F.5 and the Wiring Diagram.
Replace any previously removed wire wraps.

10. Close and secure the right side engine ser-

vice access door.
