Disconnect the starter ground cable from the lower starter mounting stud, then remove the starter motor mounting fasteners.

Check the starter cranking voltage and the current draw from the battery while the starter assembly is on the engine. Crank the engine for 10 seconds or less and observe the battery voltage, which should not drop below 8.0 volts (manual) or 8.5 volts (automatic). Also, observe the current draw using an ammeter, which should not exceed 400 amps or drop below 250 amps.

Yes, on 3.7L V6 models with automatic transmissions, you should remove the automatic transmission cooler line bracket mounting nut and move the bracket back, out of the way.

With the assembly mounted in a vise, connect one jumper cable from the negative battery terminal to the body of the starter and another from the positive battery terminal to the B+ terminal on the starter. Use a starter switch to apply battery voltage to the solenoid S terminal for 10 seconds or less. Observe if the solenoid plunger, shift lever, and overrunning clutch extend and rotate the pinion drive.
