TEST PROCEDURE 3 – AC POWER AND CONTINUITY CHECK OF AC CIRCUIT
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
1. Disconnect the AC power supply cord from the wall outlet.
2. Check the AC circuit breakers 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 within the range specified in the following chart. If proper voltage is not
present and the voltage selector switch is set for the correct voltage for your area, have building wiring
checked by a licensed electrical contractor.
5. Check continuity of the AC circuit.
5.1. Remove the battery charger from the vehicle.
See Onboard Charger Removal on page 4-35.
5.2. Remove the charger cover.
5.3. Bypass the relay.
See Charging a Battery Pack that has Low Voltage on page 4-33.
5.4. With relay bypassed, there should be continuity across the AC cord blades
(Figure 4-13,
Page 4-16)
.
6. If the circuit is not complete, check the wiring of the AC cord, AC cord reel, transformer primary coil wires
(21), internal AC circuit breakers (13), and voltage selector switch (9)
(Figure 4-5, Page 4-7)
.
7. If the charger is wired correctly, check the continuity of the AC cord, AC cord reel, transformer primary
coil, and the internal AC circuit breaker individually.
See Test Procedure 8 – Continuity on page 4-21.
8. When troubleshooting and repairs are complete, properly connect the relay wiring.
See following
WARNING.

WARNING
• The relay wiring must be properly connected prior to placing the charger back into normal
service. Failure to remove the jumper wire and properly connect the relay wiring could result
in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
