3. Turn ignition switch to OFF
position and measure battery
voltage from positive (+)
terminal
to
negative
(-)
terminal. Voltage should be
+12V. Check voltage while
trying to start engine. Voltage
should be at least +6V during
cranking. Check each battery in
system.
If voltage is not as required,
charge or replace battery (WP
0107 00).
4. Place ignition switch in OFF
position and install ammeter
between alternator and battery.
Perform the following to check
charging rate of alternator.
If alternator is not charging
properly, replace alternator (WP
0069 00).
a. Check battery voltage at
slave receptacle with engine
off.
b. Start engine and recheck
voltage. Voltage should be
slightly higher than voltage
checked with engine off.
c. Turn on lights. Check
amperage
reading
on
ammeter with engine on.
Ammeter should have a
positive (more or less)
reading depending on charge
of batteries.
+12V = STATIC
+6V = START
