DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS
“DRL” Test
The daytime running lights are powered by an AC current
from the Generator / Stator.
If running lights are not working, perform the
following:
1.
Disconnect the harness from the faulty light.
2.
Using a Volt Ohm Meter, measure the AC voltage
between the (YELLOW) and (BLACK) wires. Voltage
above 5 VAC should be present when unit is running.
If voltage is present:
1.
Replace the faulty bulb.
If voltage is not present:
1.
The black wire should have continuity to ground. If no
continuity is present, check for a short or break in the
wiring harness, or a poor connection.
2.
If the black wire has good continuity to ground, check
the wiring harness from the stator to the running lights.
There should be continuity between the (YELLOW)
wire at the light connector and the (YELLOW) wire at
the Generator / Stator.
3.
If continuity is good, perform stator resistance tests
using the resistance chart located in the wiring
diagram.
4.
Replace Generator / Stator if resistance is not within
specification.
“DRL” Lamp Replacement
If the daytime running lights do not operate, lamp
replacement may be required. Install only the
recommended replacement lamps.
1.
Remove cover from back of light housing
2.
Press in and rotate the lamp socket counter-clockwise
and remove it from the housing.
3.
Apply Dielectric Grease PN 2871329 to the new bulb
contacts and install.
4.
Verify the new lamp filament is horizontal, and then
reinstall the socket into the housing and rotate
clockwise about 1/4 turn. Replace the cover.
5.
Start the engine to make sure the lights come on. If
the lights do not operate, check the charging system
and related wiring for possible malfunction.
