If not, how long should the pwm solenoid be connected to 12v to test it?
I can't answer those directly, but to test the solenoid, you just test it for a few minutes to make sure it doesn't overheat/fail. As long as it's not getting hot after a few minutes, or hasn't already failed, it should be OK.
