Diagnostic Routine

BATTERY QUIESCENT DRAIN TEST

Ensure that the battery is fully charged. Allow thirty minutes to elapse following any recent charging cycle, to allow the battery to stabilize.

A DVOM (capable also of reading currents up to 10 amps) is required. The DVOM must have leads of sufficient length to allow connection to the
battery with the DVOM located outside the luggage compartment.

1.

Set the DVOM to 10 amps or 20 amp range.

2.

Check that all electrical loads on the vehicle are switched OFF - including mobile telephone, etc.
