Valid automotive electrical system testing depends on 

all the components being in good operating condition. 

In addition, the battery MUST have sufficient charge 

for testing. Carefully perform the following steps 

before attempting any electrical diagnosis.  

VISUAL CHECK

  Inspect Belts

 for cracks, glazed surface and 

fraying. Customer should tighten loose belts.  

  Inspect Battery

 for 

terminal corrosion, loose 

or broken posts, cracks 

in the case, loose hold-

downs, moisture, and dirt 

around the terminals.  

  Inspect Starting System.  

Check starter, solenoid, and regulator for loose 

connections, loose mounts and frayed or cracked wires.
