8.
Turn the key switch to ON.
9.
Make sure that the FNR is in N, and push the accelerator pedal.
NOTE: With the accelerator pedal pushed, the battery is under load.
9.1.
If the voltage reading is over 9.6 volts, with an electrolyte temperature of 70 °F (21 °C), check the
starter/generator.
9.2.
If the reading is below 9.6 volts, with an electrolyte temperature of 70 °F (21 °C), check the battery.
9.3.
If the reading is zero, there may be no continuity across the large posts of the solenoid. Check the solenoid.
9.4.
If all of the test results are good and the voltage reading is zero, there may be a broken or damaged
6-gauge white wire from the solenoid to the starter/generator.
10.
