Solenoid

How To Test Your Hanvey Van Solenoid

• Find your van's multimeter (typically hangs on passenger wall in back of van).
• Turn the dial to approximately 10 o'clock position.
  • This should read 20Vdc.
• Place the black lead on the terminal test strip location labeled "Ground".
• Place the red lead on the terminal test strip location labeled "S1".
• Note the number displayed on the multimeter screen.
• Move the red lead off "S1" and put it on the terminal test strip location labeled "S2".
• Note the number displayed on the multimeter screen.
• You can now turn off and put away the multimeter.
• Compare your findings between S1 and S2.
• If the difference of the two numbers is within 0.5V of each other, the solenoid is not bad.
• If the difference of the two numbers is greater than 0.5V of each other, it is time to replace your solenoid.
