Test Procedures TROUBLESHOOTING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TEST PROCEDURE 9 – Wire Continuity
See General Warning on page 1-2.
1. Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-4.
2. To test a wire for continuity, disconnect either end from the electrical component to which it is attached.
3. Set the multimeter to 200 ohms and place the red (+) probe on the terminal at one end of the wire. Place the
black (–) probe on the other terminal end of the wire. The reading should indicate continuity. If the reading is
incorrect, repair or replace the wire.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: When checking continuity of wires in the wire harness, observe the polarity of diodes. Testing continuity of
certain wires will require the appropriate diode test procedure. See Test Procedure 7 – Wire Harness
Diodes on page 11-21.
TEST PROCEDURE 10 – Charge Coil
See General Warning on page 1-2.
1. Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-4.
2. Disconnect the 2-pin connector from the voltage regulator (Figure 11-37, Page 11-28) .
3. Measure the resistance of the charge coil on the two yellow wires (Figure 11-38, Page 11-28) . The resistance
should be 0.4 - 0.6 ohms.
4. If the resistance is high, or the multimeter indicates an over limit (no continuity), the coil has failed. See the
Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engine manual (CC P/N 103568101).

TEST PROCEDURE 11 – Voltage Regulator
See General Warning on page 1-2.
NOTE: Keep the battery connected during this test procedure.
1. Turn the key switch OFF. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in NEUTRAL and set the park brake. Chock
the wheels.
2. Ensure that the voltage regulator wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as
necessary.
3. Check the engine RPM setting to ensure that it is adjusted correctly. See Engine RPM Adjustment – Through
Early-2012 Model Year, Section 13, Page 13-5.
