TROUBLESHOOTING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Test Procedures
11
Toggle Position Operates:
Position 1 Position 2
ON ON
T2 – T3 T1 – T2
5. If switch:
5.1. does not work as stated in previous steps, replace switch.
5.2. does work as stated and the MAINTENANCE/OPERATE modes still do not work:
– Check the fuse.
– Check the limit switches.
– Check continuity of the wires involved.
6. Connect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Connecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles, Section 10, Page
10-3.
TEST PROCEDURE 25 – Battery Test (Under Load)
See General Warning on page 10-1.
NOTE: Keep the battery connected while performing this test procedure.
1. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the neutral lockout switch in the MAINTENANCE
position. Chock the wheels.
2. Set a multimeter to 20 volts DC and place the red (+) probe on the F2 (white wire) terminal on the starter/generator.
Place the black (–) probe on the negative (–) battery post.
3. Place battery under load.
3.1. Pedal-start vehicles: Turn the key switch to the ON position, leave the Forward/Reverse shifter in the
NEUTRAL position and press the accelerator pedal (with the accelerator pedal pressed, the battery is
under load).
3.2. Key-start vehicles: Turn the key switch to the ON position, and hold it in the START position while noting
the voltage reading on the multimeter (with the key in the START position the battery is under load).
4. If the voltage reading is over 9.6 volts, with an electrolyte temperature of 70 °F (21 °C), check the starter/generator.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: The voltage reading listed is for electrolyte at 70 °F (21 °C). At lower electrolyte temperatures the voltage
reading will be lower.
5. If the reading is below 9.6 volts, with an electrolyte temperature of 70 °F (21 °C), check the battery. See Test
Procedure 1 – Battery on page 11-17.
5.1. If the reading is zero, there may be no continuity across the large posts of the solenoid. See Test
Procedure 7 – Solenoid on page 11-24.
6. If all of the test results are good and the voltage reading is zero, there may be a broken or damaged 6-gauge
white wire from the solenoid to the starter/generator.
See Test Procedure 9 – Starter/Generator (Starter
Function) on page 11-26.
