Charging System Testing Flow Chart
Whenever charging system problems are suspected, proceed with the following system check after verifying that all wires
are in good condition, connected and not exposed or pinched.
Using a multitester set on D.C. volts, mea-
sure the battery open circuit voltage (test
with lights and accessories off). It should be
12.4 volts or more. Is it?
