6. Connect the probes of a multimeter set to 200 ohms to the fuse terminals. The reading should be con-
tinuity. If there is no continuity, determine and repair the cause of the fuse failure. Replace the fuse with
a properly rated new one.
TEST PROCEDURE 3 – GROUND CABLES
See General Warning on page 1-1.
1. Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion. Chock the wheels.
2. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed.
See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in
General Warning on page 1-2
.
3. Check the starter/generator ground strap.
3.1. Set the multimeter to 200 ohms. Place the red (+) probe on the (A2) terminal of the starter/generator
and place the black (–) probe on the vehicle frame
(Figure 11-6, Page 11-12)
. The reading should
be continuity. If the reading is incorrect, clean and tighten wire connections. If the connections are
good and the reading is incorrect, repair or replace the wire.
4. Check the engine ground strap.
4.1. Place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the ground strap terminal end located on the oil filler
bracket on the engine
(Figure 11-7, Page 11-12)
. Place the black (–) probe on the vehicle frame.
The reading should be continuity. If the reading is incorrect, clean and tighten wire connections. If
the connections are good and the reading is incorrect, repair or replace the wire.
5. Check voltage regulator ground connection (at battery frame ground). Make sure it is clean and tight.
6. Check the battery ground cable.
6.1. A 6-gauge black wire connects the negative battery post to the frame. The frame connection 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 wire. If the wire moves at the connection end, disassemble the
frame connection and clean the bolt, ring terminal, and nut. Install the frame connection.
6.2. Set the multimeter to 200 ohms. Place the red (+) probe on the unconnected end of the 6-gauge
black wire, and place the black (–) probe on the vehicle frame
(Figure 11-8, Page 11-13)
. The read-
ing should be continuity. If the reading is incorrect, check that terminal connections are clean and
tight. If the connections are good and the reading is incorrect, repair or replace the wire.
