GENERAL INFORMATION
The Battery, Starting, and Charging Systems oper
ate with one another, and therefore, must be thor
oughly tested as a complete system. In order for the
vehicle to start and charge properly, it must have a
battery that will perform to specifications. The starter
motor, generator, wiring, and electronics also must
perform within specifications. Group 8A covers Start ing (Fig. 1) and Charging (Fig. 2) System diagnostic
procedures. These procedures include the most basic
conventional methods to On-Board Diagnostics (OBD)
built into the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Use of an ammeter, volt/ohmmeter, battery
charger, carbon pile rheostat (load tester), and 12
volt test light will be required.
All OBD sensing systems are monitored by the
PCM. The PCM will store in memory any detectable
failure in the monitored circuits. Refer to Using On-
Board Diagnostic System in this group for more in formation.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
For operation of the factory installed radios, refer
to the Owner Manual supplied with the vehicle. When connecting or disconnecting the Ignition Off
Draw (IOD) connector, it is important that the igni
tion switch be in the OFF position. Failure to place the ignition switch in the OFF po
sition can cause the radio display to become scram
bled when the IOD is disconnected. Connecting the IOD will correct the scrambled display.
INTERFERENCE
ELIMINATION
Many components are used on vehicles equipped
with a radio to suppress radio frequency interference (static). A capacitor is mounted inside the generator and
ground straps are utilized from cab to box and from
the engine to cowl. The previously mentioned Capacitor and Ground
Straps should be securely mounted to a clean ground
surface to work effectively. Radio resistance spark plug wires complete the in
terference suppression system. Faulty or deteriorated spark plug wires should be replaced.
