Starting System Test
Battery Test
Use a Digital multimeter to measure the voltage between
the battery terminals.
This is an excellent test to use when a “slow crank/no start”
problem is encountered. It will tell you if the problem is due to
an electrical open, short or high resistance in the starter
circuit.
Set the multimeter to the DC volt setting. The battery
should be at a temperature of 60∞ to 100∞ F (19∞ to
38
∞ C). The ignition key should be off and all acces-
NOTE: The battery condition and the state of charge must be
checked before testing the starter system.
sories turned off. Connect the positive (+) multimeter
lead to the positive battery post and the negative (-)
multimeter lead to the negative battery post.
Tool(s) required: Digital Multimeter and Inductive
Ammeter (AC/DC Current Transducer).
NOTE: this test provided a relative condition of the
battery. Load testing of the battery will provide more
accurate information.
Test instructions: Properly connect the inductive Ammeter to
the multimeter ( refer to the manufacturers instructions). Set
multimeter on Volts scale. With the key off place the inductive
ammeter around the main negative (-) battery cable and read
the meter prior to activating the starter system. Adjust the
meter to read zero ( if applicable). Crank the engine for at
least 3 seconds and record the results.

Voltage Drop Testing
This is a simple test that should be used to locate
excess resistance in an electrical circuit.
Tool required: Digital Multimeter
DC volts setting.
Test instructions: Connect the positive (+) test lead
to the power (or most positive) side of the compo-
nent, circuit or connection. Connect the negative (-)
test lead to the ground (of least positive) side of the
component, circuit of connection. Turn on the circuit
to be tested and read the voltage. Remember - when
performing voltage drop tests the circuit must be
complete and activated to locate the resistance.
