Keep the following notes in mind when diagnosing an electrical problem.
SRefer to wiring diagram for stator and electrical component resistance specifications.
SWhen measuring resistance of a component that has a low resistance value (under10 Ohms), remem-
ber to subtract meter lead resistance from the reading. Connect the leads together and record the
resistance. The resistance of the component is equal to tested value minus the lead resistance.
SBecome familiar with the operation of your meter. Be sure leads are in the proper jack for the test being
performed (i.e. 10A jack for current readings). Refer to the Owner's manual included with your meter
for more information.
SVoltage, amperage, and resistance values included in this manual are obtained with a Fluke™ 73
Digital Multimeter or a Tektronix DMM155. Both of these meters are acceptable for use when
diagnosing electrical problems. Readings obtained with other meters may differ.
SPay attention to the prefix on the multimeter reading (K, M, etc.) and the position of the decimal point.
SFor resistance readings, isolate the component to be tested. Disconnect it from the wiring harness or
power supply.
