qualified motor repair shop; however, there are many relatively simple tasks that can be performed by a technician with
general knowledge and experience in electric motor repair.

Disconnect the batteries and discharge the controller.
See Disconnecting the Batteries – Electric Vehicles,
2.
Disconnect wires from terminals on motor using two wrenches to prevent posts from turning.
3.
With a multimeter set to 200 ohms, place black (–) probe on motor housing. Scratch through paint to ensure a
good connection. Place red (+) probe on A1, A2, F1, and F2 terminals respectively. Multimeter should indicate no
continuity. If readings are incorrect, motor will need to be removed from the vehicle and repaired by a qualified
technician.
See Motor Removal on page 27-2.
3.1. An incorrect reading from the A1 or A2 terminal indicates three possible problems: a grounded A1 or A2
terminal, a grounded wire in the brush area, or a grounded armature/commutator. An incorrect reading for
the F1 or F2 terminal indicates a possible grounded F1 or F2 terminal or field coil.
