TEST PROCEDURE 2 – ONBOARD COMPUTER
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. See additional WARNING on page 3-1.
1. Select a second charger that is normally connected to another vehicle and is known to operate properly.
Leave the AC cord of the second charger connected to the AC outlet that it normally is connected to. This
will ensure that AC power is present.
2. Check the AC circuit breaker on the front of the charger and reset it if necessary.
3. Insert the DC cord from the second charger into the receptacle of the vehicle that is not charging properly.
4. If the second charger fails in the same manner as the first charger, then the vehicle charging circuit is not
functioning properly.
See Troubleshooting on page 3-12.
5. Connect the first charger into another vehicle that is known to be functioning properly. If the charger per-
forms as it should, then the charger is not in need of repair.
TEST PROCEDURE 3 – AC POWER AND CONTINUITY TEST OF AC CIRCUIT
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. See additional WARNING on page 3-1.
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Check the AC circuit breaker on the front of the charger and reset it if necessary.
3. Check the AC line fuse or circuit breaker in the storage facility.
4. With a multimeter set to 500 volts AC, check incoming AC voltage. Insert multimeter test probes into AC
wall outlet; voltage should be between 105 and 128 volts. If proper voltage is not present, have building
wiring checked by a licensed electrical contractor.
5. Check continuity of the AC circuit.
5.1. Remove the charger cover.
5.2. Bypass the relay.
5.2.1. To bypass the relay, remove the black wire (3) from the AC circuit breaker and disconnect
the tan wire (4) from the relay. Connect the tan wire (4) to the AC circuit breaker
(Figure 3-22, Page 3-23)
.
5.3. With relay bypassed, there should be continuity across the AC cord blades
(Figure 3-17,
Page 3-19)
