Current Leakage Inspection:
• Turn the main switch to OFF position, and remove
the negative cable terminal (-) from the battery.
• Connect an ammeter between the negative cable
terminal and the battery negative terminal.
CAUTIoN
• In the current leakage test, set the current range
at the largest scale. Gradually decrease to the lower
scale as the test progresses to avoid possible damage
to the ammeter and the fuse.
• Do not turn the main switch to
ON position during test.
Allowable current leakage: Less
than 1mA
Disconnect each cable one by
one and take
measurement of the current of each cable to
locate the short circuit.
