INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION

Note. Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.

1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage. VISUAL INSPECTION Mechanical Electrical Generator Drive belt Drive belt tensioner Generator pulley Check the security of the generator fittings Generator Battery Starter motor Harnesses and connectors Fuses Charge warning light function Engine control module (ECM)
3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
4. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart, alternatively check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC Index.

DTC INDEX

Note. Generic scan tools may not read the codes listed, or may read only five digit codes. Match the five digits from the scan tool to the first five digits of the seven digit code listed to identify the fault (the last two digits give additional information read by the manufacturer-approved diagnostic system).

Note. When performing electrical voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to three decimal places, and with an up-to-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the DMM leads into account.

Note. Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests

Note. If DTCs are recorded and, after performing the pinpoint tests, a fault is not present, an intermittent concern may be the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals.

For a list of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that could be logged on this vehicle, please refer to GENERAL INFORMATION - DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX .

MIDTRONICS EXP-1080 USER GUIDE

Carry out the following

PINPOINT TEST A : VOLTAGE DROP TEST CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS A1: GROUND CIRCUIT NOTE: This test checks for high resistance between the battery terminal and the battery clamp 1 Start the engine, turn on the following: (1) Air conditioning (2) Blower fan on full speed (3) Headlights on main beam (4) Heated screen - rear (5) Heated screen - front (if installed) (6) Heated seats (if installed) 2 Connect the multimeter between the battery negative terminal and the battery clamp as shown in picture below (do not disconnect the battery at this stage) 3 Set the multimeter to read DC voltage and record the reading Is reading equal to or below 0.1 volts? Yes - GO to A2 (below). No - Switch all electrical loads and engine off, return the vehicle to an ignition off condition. Disconnect the battery negative clamp, clean clamp and terminal then reconnect and repeat test A1 A2: POWER CIRCUIT NOTE: This test checks for high resistance between the battery terminal and the battery clamp 1 Start the engine, turn on the following: (1) Air conditioning (2) Blower fan on full speed (3) Headlights on main beam (4) Heated screen - rear (5) Heated screen - front (if installed) (6) Heated seats (if installed) 2 Connect the multimeter between the battery positive terminal and the battery clamp as shown in picture below (do not disconnect the battery at this stage) 3 Set the multimeter to read DC voltage and record the reading Is reading equal to or below 0.1 volts? Yes - Carry out Midtronics battery test procedure. No - Switch all electrical loads and engine off, return the vehicle to an ignition off condition. Disconnect the battery power clamp, clean clamp and terminal then reconnect and repeat test GO to A2 (above).
