MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
* Once a month, check tire pressure and look for unusual wear
or damage.
* Once a month, Inspect battery and clean and tighten
terminals as required.
* Once a month, check fluid levels of coolant reservoir,
brake master cylinder, power steering & transmission.
Add fluids as required.
* Once a month, check all lights and all other electrical items
for correct operation
* Once a month, Inspect and clean wiper blades as required.
* Twice a year, lubricate the external lock cylinders.

ON-VEHICLE TESTING
CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory
systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist
until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See
COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION
before disconnecting battery.
DISABLING/ENABLING IGNITION & FUEL SYSTEMS
WARNING: To prevent engine from starting while performing tests,
always disable ignition and fuel systems.
Disabling Ignition & Fuel Systems
Remove Automatic Shutdown Relay (ASD) located in Power
Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to PDC cover for proper relay
location. PDC is located in engine compartment. On 5.9L diesel
engines, also disconnect fuel shutdown solenoid connector. Solenoid is
located behind upper intake manifold. See appropriate SYSTEM &
COMPONENT TESTING article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
Enabling Ignition & Fuel Systems
When testing and/or repairs have been completed, verify
battery condition. Recharge battery as necessary, after starter tests
have been completed. Disconnect all test equipment. Install ASD relay.
On 5.9L diesel engines, reconnect fuel shutdown relay connector. On
all models, start engine several times to verify malfunction has been
corrected.
CRANKING TEST
NOTE: Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. High
viscosity oil, extreme cold temperatures, or tight engine
will increase amperage draw.
1) Using a battery load tester, connect positive and negative
leads to battery. Connect inductive ammeter pick-up to positive
battery cable. Disable ignition and fuel systems. See
DISABLING/ENABLING IGNITION & FUEL SYSTEMS.
2) Ensure all lights and accessories are off. Place A/T in
Park position or M/T in Neutral position. Apply parking brake. Crank
engine and observe voltmeter reading. If voltage is more than 9.6
volts and cranking amperage draw is more than specified amps, proceed
to CIRCUIT RESISTANCE TESTS. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS - CARS or
STARTER SPECIFICATIONS - TRUCKS.
3) If voltage is 12.5 volts or more and cranking amperage
draw is less than specified, check starter circuit components in the
following order:
starter solenoid, starter relay, starter relay circuit, park/neutral
position switch or transmission range sensor (A/T), clutch pedal
position switch (M/T), ignition switch, wiring harness and
connections.
CIRCUIT RESISTANCE TESTS
NOTE: If excessive resistance is not found in circuits being
tested, remove starter and proceed to BENCH TESTING.
Battery Connection Resistance Test
1) Disable vehicle ignition and fuel systems. See
DISABLING/ENABLING IGNITION & FUEL SYSTEMS. A voltmeter accurate to
one tenth of a volt will be needed for the following tests.
