BATTERY TESTING

Remove the battery (page 21-5).

Refer to the instructions that are appropriate to the

battery testing equipment available to you.

Battery tester

Open the battery box lid (page 21-5).

Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the negative

(–) ground terminal.

Connect the ammeter (+) probe [1] to the negative (–)

cable [2] and the ammeter (–) probe [3] to the engine

earth point [4].

With the ignition switch OFF, check for current leakage.

• When measuring current using a tester, set it to a

high range, and then bring the range down to an

appropriate level. Current flow higher than the range

selected may blow the fuse in the tester.

• While measuring current, do not turn the ignition

switch ON. A sudden surge of current may blow the

fuse in the tester.

SPECIFIED CURRENT LEAKAGE: 0.66 mA

If current leakage exceeds the specified value, a

shorted circuit is the probable cause.

Locate the short by disconnecting connections one by

one and measuring the current.
