Test 1 Conclusions
•
If battery voltage is above 12.4
VDC continue to Test 2.
•
If voltage is below 12.4 VDC,
charge battery and retest.
•
If battery will not hold a charge
it should be replaced before
continuing the test or replacing
the starter.
Test 2 Conclusions
•
If battery cranking voltage is
above 9.0 VDC continue to Test
3.
•
If battery cranking voltage is
below 9.0 VDC you should
check the battery by using

external engine load.
Test 3 Conclusions
•
If the difference between test
2 and test 3 is greater than 1
VDC check all positive and
