The solenoid can be testing by connecting it to your car battery and making sure it operates. If it is working you should be able to hear it click and be able to blow through the vacuum ports while it is connected. If you have a manual it will also specify how much resistance should be across the two terminals. Below is an attached tech video that should also help.

How do you test electronic circuit board components?
By using a multimeter
How do you test a capacitor using a multimeter?
A cheap multimeter can be used to test if a capacitor is burnt out. Connect one lead of the capacitor to one lead from a resistor (about 50k ohms). Set the multimeter to a high "ohms" setting and place the test leads on the remaining cap and resistor leads. The display should begin at 50 KOhms and then get higher and higher until it reads infinity/overload. A bad capacitor will either start at infinity/overload or start at 50KOhms and stay there. It won't tell you the ferad rating of the capacitor, but it will give a starting point to troubleshoot.
How do you check field-effect transistor using analoge multitester?
There is no simple way to test FETs with either analog or digital multimeters. Bipolar transistors can be tested to see if their junctions are OK but they can also have failures that cannot be detected with a multimeter.
Can I check the capacitor value by using analog or multimeter?
You can see if the capacitor charges and discharges with an ohmmeter. You can check the value of the capacitor if the multimeter has the facility. With an ESR meter you can establish the value of the capacitor while in circuit.
What is the purpose of a test lead in a Multimeter?
So you don't have to put the whole meter on the circuit point. It's just a way to tap into the point you want.
How can you test a battery?
You can test a battery by using multimeter. Set the multimeter to the DC voltmeter setting and then place the leads of the multimeter across the leads of the battery. the multimeter will have a readout of the voltage.

How do you test the solenoid on your lawn tractor?
take your multimeter and set it to volts, going into the solenoid you should have anywhere from 12.2 to 14v and coming out it should not drop anymore than 1 volt. If it does the solenoid has to much resistance and should be replaced
Is it possible to test a diode with multimeter?
Yes it is possible to test a diode with a multimeter.
How do you test a thyristor module using multimeter?
You can check if it is shorted, but without coordinating the gate and anode voltages with the cathode, you cannot test a thyrister (SCR) with a multimeter. Check it out of circuit for shorts, then check the circuit, then test it in operation. Anything more advanced will require an oscilloscope.
How do you test an abs sensor?
To test an abs sensor for a Lexus ES you will need to use a multimeter. The multimeter will determine if the abs sensor works or not.
Dos and don'ts to ensure the safety of multimeter?
Do: Each time you do an ohms test using an analog multimeter, touch the two probes together and use the calibration dial to "zero it out." For a digital multimeter, touch the probes together and it automatically calibrates itself. Donot: Don't switch multimeter functions while the meter is energized.
Why does your 120 outlet measure 49 volts when you test it with a multimeter?
Either the supply or the multimeter is faulty.
How do you test a good and working contactor?
A contactor is tested by using a device called a Multimeter. By setting the multimeter to ohms and rx1 you can clip both prongs to the coil. If the multinmeter moves the contactor is good. If it doesnt move its bad.
What is the purpose of an automotive multimeter?
An automotive multimeter, like any multimeter, can be used to test the voltage or current in some kind of circuit. As it is an automotive multimeter it is aimed more towards the used in a car.
How do you do different test on automotive cars using a multimeter?
Ohms=resistance in the wiring. Volts=your power. Amps=how much power u got;)
How do you test a battery in a Motorola cell phone?
Take the battery out and test it with a multimeter.
