TROUBLESHOOTING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
PEDAL-START GAS VEHICLE Test Procedures

4. Remove fuse to be tested from the fuse block. See Fuse Removal on page 14-16. The red 10-amp fuse
protects the solenoid for the starter (cranking) circuit. The 20-amp fuse at the yellow wire connection protects the
headlights and brake lights (if equipped). The fuse at the red/white wire connection protects the horn.
5. Connect the probes of a multimeter, set to 200 ohms, to the fuse terminals. The reading should be continuity. 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. Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles, Section
1, Page 1-3.
2. Check the starter/generator ground cable.
2.1. 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 12-6, Page 12-13) . The reading should be
continuity. If the reading is incorrect, clean and tighten cable connections. If the connections are good and
the reading is incorrect, repair or replace the cable.
3. Check the engine ground cable.
3.1. Place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the ground cable terminal end located on the oil filler bracket
on the engine (Figure 12-7, Page 12-13) . Place the black (–) probe on the vehicle frame. The reading
should be continuity. If the reading is incorrect, clean and tighten cable connections. If the connections are
good and the reading is incorrect, repair or replace the cable.

4. Check voltage regulator ground connection (at battery frame ground). Make sure it is clean and tight.
5. Check the battery ground cable.
5.1. A 6-gauge black cable 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 cable. If the cable moves at the connection end, disassemble the frame
connection and clean the bolt, ring terminal, and nut. Reinstall the frame connection.
5.2. Set the multimeter to 200 ohms. Place the red (+) probe on the unconnected end of the 6-gauge black
cable, and place the black (–) probe on the vehicle frame (Figure 12-8, Page 12-14) . The reading should
be continuity. If the reading is incorrect, ensure that terminal connections are clean and tight. If the
connections are good and the reading is incorrect, repair or replace the cable.
