Electrical System Quick Checks
Battery Test (Open Circuit Test)
This is a simple test used to determine the condition of
the battery at rest.
Voltage Measured

Test instructions: Set the multimeter to the DC Volts set-
ting. The battery should be at a temperature of 60_ to
12.0 V

_ F. The ignition key should be off and all accesso-
ries turned off. Connect the positive (+) Volt meter lead
to the positive battery post and the negative (-) Voltme-
ter lead the the negative battery post.
Note:
approximately 13.5 Volts when the engine is running.

Charging System Test
This isasimple testused todetermine ifaCharging sys-
tem is functioning. It will tell you if the charging system
has an output, but not how much (amps) or what it is ca-
pable of.
At least 1 volt over Open Circuit test results.
Example: Open Circuit Test results

= 12.5v
= 13.5v
= +1.0 v
Tool required: Digital Multimeter - DC volts setting.
Test instructions: Connect the positive (+) multimeter
test lead on the positive Battery Post, and negative (-)
lead on the negative Battery Post. Leave test leads con-
nected and start engine and run at2000 RPM minimum.
Test results should be:

Test instructions: Connect the positive (+) multimeter
test lead to the power side (or most positive) of the com-
ponent, circuit or connection. Connect the negative (-)
multimeter testleadto theground side(or leastpositive)
of the component, circuit or connection. Turn on the cir-
cuittobetestedandreadthevoltage.Remember-when
performing voltage drop tests the circuit must be com-
plete and activated to locate the resistance!
