Starter System Check
- Visually INSPECT the hydrometer (built into the battery).
• | Green Eye Battery is charged. |
• | Dark Eye CHARGE and LOAD TEST per Section 6D1. |
• | If battery passes load test, REFER to Battery is Under Charged
or Overcharged System Diagnosis |
• | Clear or Yellow Eye Battery electrolyte is low. REPLACE
the battery. |
- CHECK that the gererator(s) connector(s) and generator battery
connections are clean and tight.
- CHECK the condition of the GAUGES Fuse 4. If the fuse
is open, LOCATE and REPAIR source of overload and REPLACE the fuse.
- CHECK that the battery connections are clean and tight.
- CHECK the fusible links for opens. If a fusible link is open,
LOCATE and REPAIR the source of the overload and REPLACE the fusible link.
- CHECK the condition of the generator drive belt. REPLACE as per
engine cooling.
- CHECK that grounds G100, G110, G103 and G300 are clean and tight.
- If more than one indicator lamp in the instrument cluster is not
lighting, than CHECK for an open in the PNK (39) wire to the instrument cluster.
• | CHECK for a broken or partially broken wire inside the insulation
which could cause system malfunction but prove GOOD in a Continuity/Voltage
CHECK with a system disconnected. These circuits may be intermittant or resistive
when loaded and should be checked by monitoring for a voltage drop with the
system operational (under load). |
• | CHECK for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment
which may affect the integrity of other systems. See Troubleshooting Procedures. |
