TROUBLESHOOTING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TEST PROCEDURE 34 – VOLTAGE LIMITER (VEHICLES WITH HEADLIGHTS)
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
1. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING "To avoid unintentionally starting..." in
General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
2. Remove the center dash assembly. See Key Switch Removal, Section 12, Page 12-13.
3. Using a multimeter set on 20 volts DC, connect the red (+) probe to the light switch terminal with the yel-
low wire (Figure 11-51, Page 11-48).
4. Loosen the black wire connector (on the end of the long black wire) at the voltage limiter assembly just
enough to maintain the connection and yet expose part of the metal terminal in the connector. Place
black (–) probe on the connector (Figure 11-51, Page 11-48). See following CAUTION.
ý
CAUTION
• Before connecting battery cables, make sure no electrical components touch the front body
trim or other parts of the vehicle frame. Place a dry towel between the body trim and the
center dash to prevent an electrical short circuit.
5. Connect battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten hardware to 12 ft-lb (16 N·m).
6. Pull the light switch to the ON position The reading should be 10-12 volts. If the there is no voltage read-
ing, check continuity of the 16-gauge black wire from the headlight to the voltage limiter. Check continuity
of the 16-gauge black wire from voltage limiter to the ground terminal block. If the wires show continuity
and the readings are still incorrect, replace the voltage limiter. See Voltage Limiter Removal,
Section 12, Page 12-32.
7. With the neutral lockout cam in the SERVICE (MAINTENANCE) position, start the engine and press the
accelerator pedal to the floor.
8. Push the light switch to the OFF position. The reading should be 14.7-15.3 volts.
9. Pull the light switch to the ON position. The reading should be 11-13 volts. If the reading does not drop
from 14.5-15.5 volts to 11-13 volts, replace the voltage limiter.
