NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter motor and generator test segments must be
done as a set from start to finish.
1.
DIAGNOSIS WITH MULTITASKING BATTERY DIAGNOSTIC STATION
Perform the starting system test with multitasking battery diagnostic station. For details and operating instruc-
tions, refer to diagnostic station instruction manual.
Test result
CRANKING NORMAL>>GO TO 2
LOW VOLTAGE>>GO TO 5
CHARGE BATTERY>>Perform the slow battery charging procedure. (Initial rate of charge is 10A for 12
hours.) Perform battery test again. Refer to diagnostic station instruction manual.
REPLACE BATTERY>>Before replacing battery, clean the battery cable clamps and battery posts. Perform
battery test again. Refer to diagnostic station instruction manual. If second test result is
“REPLACE BATTERY”, then do so. Perform battery test again to confirm repair.
2.
