A solenoid electrical diagnostic system includes a solenoid circuit operable in response to an electrical current. A low-side switch includes a low-side input configured to receive a pulsed voltage signal and a low-side output in signal communication with the solenoid circuit. The low-side switch continuously switches between an on-state and an off-state based on the pulsed voltage signal to adjust a level of the current flowing through the solenoid circuit. A solenoid monitoring unit generates a low-side output state signal based on an output voltage at the low-side output, and a low-side input state signal based on an input voltage at the low-side input. The solenoid electrical diagnostic system further includes an electronic hardware controller determines at least one operating condition of the solenoid circuit based on a comparison between the state signals and a threshold value.
