2. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter (1) to the battery positive terminal post. Connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to the battery
positive cable terminal clamp. Rotate and hold the ignition switch in the Start position. Observe the voltmeter. If voltage is detected, correct the
poor connection between the battery positive cable terminal clamp and the battery positive terminal post.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with two 12v batteries, step #2 must be performed twice, once for each battery.
3. Connect the voltmeter (2) to measure between the battery positive cable terminal clamp (1) and the starter solenoid (3) B(+) terminal stud. Rotate
and hold the ignition switch in the Start position. Observe the voltmeter. If the reading is above 0.2 volt, clean and tighten the battery positive
cable eyelet terminal connection at the starter solenoid B(+) terminal stud. Repeat the test. If the reading is still above 0.2 volt, replace the faulty
battery positive cable.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with two 12v batteries, step #3 must be performed twice, once for each battery.
4. Connect the voltmeter (1) to measure between the battery (2) negative cable terminal clamp and a good clean ground on the engine block (3).
Rotate and hold the ignition switch in the Start position. Observe the voltmeter. If the reading is above 0.2 volt, clean and tighten the battery
negative cable eyelet terminal connection to the engine block. Repeat the test. If the reading is still above 0.2 volt, replace the faulty battery
negative cable.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with two 12v batteries, step #4 must be performed twice, once for each battery.
