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
. 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
. The reading 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.
