Test Procedure 3, Continued:
3. Check the engine ground strap.
3.1. Place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the ground strap terminal end located on the oil filler
tube bracket on the engine (Figure 11-26, Page 11-22). 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.
4. Check the battery ground cable.
4.1. 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. Reinstall the frame connection.
4.2. Set the multimeter to 200
Ω
(ohms). Place the red (+) probe on the unconnected end of the 6
gauge black wire, and place the black (–) probe on the vehicle frame (Figure 11-27, Page 11-22).
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.
