1. Remove the starter motor.
2. Connect Alternator, Regulator, Battery and Starter Tester (ARBST) 010-00725 or equivalent, to a fully charged battery and a remote starter switch to the starter solenoid B-terminal and S-terminal as shown.
3. Engage the remote starter switch.
4. The starter motor should eject the starter drive and run smoothly. If the starter motor does not run smoothly, repair or replace it.
5. While the starter motor is running, check the voltmeter and the ammeter.
6. The voltage should be greater than 11.0 volts and the amperage should be no more than 70 amps.
7. If the voltage is lower than the specified voltage, or the amperage is higher than the specified amperage, replace the starter motor.
