Hello, I'm Danny.

Yes, your starter motor can be tested however, it must be removed from the vehicle and taken to your local auto parts store for testing.They put it on a machine that will test it.It is always free of charge to test. Here is a tutorial showing how to remove/replace the starter:

Hope this helps and feel free to ask questions if needed.Thanks for using 2CarPros.
