TROUBLE SHOOTING
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Verify customer complaint by operating system. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical
damage. Check generator belt tension and condition. Ensure that battery voltage is within specifications. Inspect
for blown fuses and damaged relays.
Verify ground connection integrity between engine, body, battery and generator. Check for damaged wiring
harnesses and/or switches. Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside insulation, which could cause
system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. Ensure any
aftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed. If fault is found, repair as necessary. If no fault is found,
check for conditions that might cause an intermittent situation.
