Electrical System Quick Checks
Battery Test (Open Circuit Test)
Use a digital multimeter to measure the battery voltage.

Set the multimeter to the DC volts setting. The battery
should be  at a  temperature  of 60o  to 100oF  (16o to

and more accurate information (see Battery Service in
the Service and Repairs section).
Charging System Test
This is a simple test used to determine if a charging sys-
tem is functioning. It will tell you if the charging system
has an output, but not its capacity.
Start the engine and run at high idle (3200 RPM). Allow
the battery to charge for at least three (3) minutes. Re-
cord the battery voltage.
Use a digital  multimeter set to DC  volts. Connect the
positive (+) multimeter lead to the positive battery post
and the negative (--) multimeter lead to the negative bat-
tery post. Keep the test leads connected to the battery
posts and record the battery voltage.
After running the engine for at least three (3) minutes,
battery voltage should be at least 0.50 volt higher than
initial battery voltage.
An example of a charging system that is functioning:
NOTE:  Upon starting the  engine, the battery  voltage
will drop and then should  increase once the engine is
running.
At least 0.50 volt over initial battery voltage.

NOTE:  Depending upon  the condition  of the  battery
charge and battery temperature, the battery voltage will
increase at different rates as the battery charges.
Glow Plug System Test
This is a fast, simple test that can help to determine the
integrity  and operation  of  your Groundsmaster  glow
plug system. The test should be run anytime hard start-
ing (cold  engine)  is encountered  on a  diesel engine
equipped with a glow plug system.
ammeter pickup around the main glow plug power sup-
ply wire and read the meter prior to activating the glow
plug system. Adjust the meter to read zero (if applica-
ble). Activate the glow plug system by turning the igni-
tion switch to RUN and record the multimeter results.
Use a digital multimeter and/or inductive Ammeter (AC/
DCCurrentTransducer).Properlyconnecttheammeter
to the digital multimeter (refer to manufacturers’ instruc-
tions) and set the multimeter to the correct scale. With

The Groundsmaster 4300--D glow plug system should
have a reading of approximately 36 amps total (9 amps
per glow plug). If low current reading is observed, one
(or more) glow plugs is faulty.
