The alternator does not provide enough power to
the battery. Check the alternator belts, and make
sure the alternator is running when the engine is
running. If the belts slip or are broken, replace
them and re-test. Check the connection between
the alternator and the battery. If the connection
is bad, clean or replace the cable and re-test. If
the alternator belts and connection are in good
condition, replace the alternator.
4. Press «ENTER» to continue the test.

1. The tester asks «SWITCH CONSUMERS ON AND PRESS ENTER». Turn on the heater to maximum (heat), high and
rear headlights. Do not switch on cyclic loads such as air conditioning or windshield wipers.
2. Run the engine at 2500 rpm for 15 seconds.
3. Press «ENTER», the undulation of the charging system appears. One of the two results is displayed :
