4. Check the battery ground cable.
4.1. Four 10-gauge black wires are crimped together and connected to the negative (–) battery post.
One of these wires is connected via a single position in-line connector to the frame. The frame con-
nection should be clean and tight. Visual inspection of the connection on the frame is very difficult.
The best check for tightness is to pull on the black cable. If the cable moves at the connection end,
disassemble the frame connection and clean the bolt, ring terminal, and nut. Reinstall the frame
connection.
4.2. Set the multimeter to 200 ohms. Place the red (+) probe on the unconnected end of the 6-gauge
black cable, and place the black (–) probe on the vehicle frame (Figure 11-11, Page 11-16) . The
reading should be continuity. If the reading is incorrect, ensure that terminal connections are clean
and tight. If the connections are good and the reading is incorrect, check that the in-line connector
is secure, repair or replace the cable.
5. Check the fuel tank ground.
5.1. A 16-gauge wire runs from the fuel tank to the wire harness where it is sonically welded to the other
ground wires. Check the ground connection at the fuel tank.
5.2. Set the multimeter to 200 ohms. Place the red (+) probe on the terminal for the fuel tank ground con-
nection, and place the black (–) probe on the vehicle frame (Figure 11-12, Page 11-16) . The read-
ing should be continuity. If there is no continuity, clean and tighten all cable connections. If the
connections are good, repair or replace the cable.
