STARTING SYSTEM VDROP TEST
Loose or corroded terminal connections and damaged or undersized
wires can produce resistance, which causes a voltage drop between
starting system components. Using the following procedure, Volt
readings can be taken at each part of the circuit, pinpointing the location
of the voltage drops. In the System test the charging cables are tested
before the individual starter can be tested.
This test can also be selected
from the main menu by selecting
Starter Test then press (Y Enter).
Select >VOLTAGE DROP from the
main and then select >STR MAIN
CABLES and press (Y Enter).
