CIRCUIT TESTING

WARNING
• WHEN MAKING ELECTRICAL TESTS OR REPAIRS, ALWAYS:
- WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR APPROVED EYE PROTECTION.
- REMOVE KEY.
- PUT F&R IN NEUTRAL.
- DISCONNECT BATTERIES AS SHOWN, FIGURE 17-1, PAGE 17-2.
- FOLLOW ALL PROCEDURES EXACTLY AS STATED.
• SEE SAFETY WARNINGS PAGE 17-1.
Using the following procedures, the entire electrical system of the PowerDrive vehicle can be tested without
major disassembly of the vehicle:
• Refer to Figure 17-5 or 17-7 for testing the control circuit, and to Figure 17-6 or 17-8 for testing the power
circuit.
• The red (+) and black (-) probe symbols in Figures 17-5, 17-6, 17-7, and 17-8 (wiring diagrams) indicate
points where the probes should be placed for tests. The numbers on the probe symbols indicate test
procedure numbers.
• A volt-ohm meter (VOM)(Club Car Part No. 1011480) or a continuity tester (Club Car Part No. 1011273)
is needed in order to make these tests.
• Continuity or a closed circuit is indicated by zero ohms on the VOM or a lighted indicator on the conti-
nuity tester. No continuity, or an open circuit, is indicated by infinite ohms or no light.
• The tests on this section are made in order to check a component and the wire to and from the com-
ponent. The probes will often be placed at points removed from the component being tested.
