1. CHECK AUXILIARY BATTERY VOLTAGE

NOTICE:
If the battery is fully depleted or "READY" does not light up, recharge the battery. Check the battery again before the vehicle is returned to the customer.

  1. Check the battery for damage and deformation. If any severe damage, deformation or leaks are found, replace the battery.

  1. Check the voltage.

    1. Turn the power switch off and turn on the headlights for 20 to 30 seconds. This will remove the surface charge from the battery.

    2. Measure the battery voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage:
      Tester Connection
      		Condition
      		Specified Condition
      Positive (+) terminal - Negative (-) terminal
      		20°C (68°F)
      		12.5 to 12.9 V

      If the voltage is not as specified, charge the battery.



2. CHECK BATTERY TERMINAL

  1. Check that the battery terminals are not loose or corroded.
    If the terminals are corroded, clean them.



3. CHECK FUSES

  1. Measure the resistance of each fuse for the auxiliary battery charging system.

    Standard resistance:
    Below 1 Ω

    1. If any of the results is not as specified, replace the fuse(s) as necessary.



4. CHECK BATTERY HOSE

  1. Make sure that the hose is not kinked.
