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 
 Electrically-operated remote control mirrors are 
available as an option on D-body vehicles. The mir
rors are controlled by a single switch assembly lo
cated on the instrument panel to the right of the 
headlamp switch (Fig. 1).  D-body vehicles use a toggle-type switch. The 
switch is rotated clockwise (Right mirror) or counter
clockwise (Left mirror) for mirror selection. The 
switch is moved UP, DOWN, RIGHT, or LEFT for 
mirror movement direction.  The motors which operate the mirrors are part of 
the mirror assembly and cannot be serviced sepa
rately.

WIRE CODE
 IDENTIFICATION 
Each wire shown in the diagrams contains a code 
(Fig. 3) which identifies the main circuit, part of the 
main circuit, gauge of wire, and color. The color is  shown as a two letter code which can be identified by 
referring to the Wire Color Code Chart (Fig. 4). If 
the wire has a tracer and it is a standard color an  asterisk will follow the main wire color. If the tracer 
is non-standard the main wire color will have a slash  (/) after it followed by the tracer color.  18

 To locate a system or component in the diagrams, 
refer to the alphabetical index at the front of the di agrams. Determine the diagram sheet number. Sheet 
numbers are located at the lower right or left hand 
corner of each sheet. Page numbers at the top of 
the page do not apply to diagram sheets.  The diagram index identifies the main system and 
all components that relate to that system. There are 
also sections of the index that identify specific com
ponents only (for example modules, lamps, etc.). Re-
