DC Cord
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. To check the continuity of the DC cord, disconnect the black wire of the DC cord from the ammeter
(Figure 3-27, Page 3-27)
.
4. Disconnect the red wire of the DC cord from the heatsink.
5. Disconnect the blue wire from the red wire assembly that connects to the charger relay.
6. Place the clip of the continuity tester on the red wire of the DC cord.
7. Place the continuity test probe on the positive (+) pin of the DC plug (positive (+) and negative (–) pins
are identified on the plug). If tester does not indicate continuity, the DC cord must be replaced.
8. Place the continuity test probe on the negative (–) pin of the DC plug. The tester should indicate no con-
tinuity. If tester indicates continuity, the DC cord must be replaced.
9. Place the continuity test probe on the unmarked (middle) pin of the DC plug. The tester should indicate
no continuity. If tester indicates continuity, the DC cord must be replaced.
10. Move the continuity tester clip to the black wire of the DC cord.
11. Place the continuity test probe on the negative (–) pin of the DC plug. The tester should indicate conti-
nuity. If tester does not indicate continuity, the DC cord must be replaced.
12. Place the continuity test probe on the unmarked (middle) pin of the DC plug. The tester should indicate
no continuity. If tester indicates continuity, the DC cord must be replaced.
13. Move continuity test probe to the blue wire of the DC cord. Check for continuity at the middle pin. The
tester should indicate continuity. If tester does not indicate continuity, replace DC cord.
