CHARGING SYSTEM
NOTE
• When inspecting the charging system, check the system
components and lines step-by-step according to the
troubleshooting on page 15-3.
• With large capacity circuits that exceed the ratings of the
fuse contained in the tester, measuring errors can cause
damage to testing equipment.
Before starting each test, set the tester at the high capacity
range first, then adjust it to the small capacity circuits range
in order that you have the correct range.
