CIRCUIT TESTING
Using the following procedures, the entire electrical system of the PowerDrive vehicle can be tested without
major disassembly of the vehicle:
Refer to Figure 20-5 or 20-7 for testing the control circuit, and to Figure 20-6 or 20-8 for testing the power cir-
cuit.
• The red (+) and black (-) probe symbols in Figures 20-5, 20-6, 20-7, and 20-8 (wiring diagrams) indi-
cate points where the probes should be placed for tests. The numbers on the probe symbols indicate
test procedure numbers.
• A volt-ohm meter (VOM)(Club Car Part No. 1011480) or a continuity tester (Club Car Part No.
1011273) is needed in order to make these tests.
• Continuity (a closed circuit) is indicated by zero ohms on the VOM or by a lighted indicator on the conti-
nuity tester. No continuity (an open circuit) is indicated by infinite ohms (no light).
• The tests on this section are made in order to check a component and the wire to and from the compo-
nent. The probes will often be placed at points removed from the component being tested.
