CHARGING SYSTEM

Current Draw - Key Off

Do not connect or disconnect the battery cable or
ammeter with the engine running. Damage will occur to
electrical components.
Connect an ammeter in series with the negative battery
cable. Check for current draw with the key off. If the draw
is excessive, loads should be disconnected from the
system one by one until the draw is eliminated. Check
component wiring as well as the component for partial
shorts to ground to eliminate the draw.
Current Draw - Key Off:
Maximum of 0.01 DCA (10 mA)

Charging System "Break Even" Test

Do not allow the battery cables to become
disconnected with the engine running. Follow the steps
below as outlined to reduce the chance of damage to
electrical components.
The "break even" point of the charging system is the
point at which the alternator overcomes all system loads
(lights, etc.) and begins to charge the battery. Depending
on battery condition and system load, the break even
point may vary slightly. The battery should be fully
charged before performing this test.
