3. Turn the key switch to the ON position, leave the forward and reverse switch in the neutral position and
depress the accelerator pedal (with the accelerator pedal depressed the battery is under load). If the
voltage reading is over 8 volts, check the starter/generator (See Starter/Generator below, Pages 107-
116). If the reading is below 8 volts, check the battery (See page 126). If the reading is zero, there may
be no continuity across the large posts of the solenoid (See Test Procedure 5).
4. If all of the test results are good, there may be a broken or damaged white 6 gauge wire from the sole-
noid to the starter/generator (See Test Procedure 8).
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS
STARTER/GENERATOR
Removal of the Starter/Generator
1. Remove access panel from the body (Figure 12-35).
2. Disconnect the wires from the starter/generator (1). Mark wires before disconnecting. Loosen the pivot
nuts (7) and bolts (5) (Figure 12-36).
3. Remove the mounting/adjustment nut (12), washer (9) and bolt (11). Lower the starter/generator and
slip the belt (4) off the pulley (10) (Figure 12-36). See NOTE below.
4. Support the starter/generator so that when the pivot bolts are removed the starter/generator will not fall
to the ground. Remove the two pivot nuts (7), lockwashers (6) (if present), and bolts (5) from the mount-
ing bracket.
5. Remove the starter/generator up through the access opening.
• SEE FIGURE 12-36 BELOW. ON SOME EARLY 1997 VEHICLES, THE BOLT (5) WAS INSERTED
FROM INSIDE THE BRACKET (2), AND A NUT AND LOCK WASHER (INSTALLED OUTSIDE THE
BRACKET) WERE USED INSTEAD OF THE LOCK NUT (7).
