IQ PLUS CHARGER (EXTERNAL)
TEST PROCEDURE 1 – BATTERY VOLTAGE AND DC PLUG AND RECEPTACLE
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. See additional WARNING on page 8-1.
1. Check the DC plug and the vehicle charger receptacle for damage, dirt, corrosion, or any condition that
might prevent a sound electrical connection.
2. Inspect the receptacle contacts to ensure that they are not damaged and they are firmly seated within the
receptacle.
3. Check the wire connections to the charger receptacle:
3.1. Carryall 6, Transporter 4 and 6, and Villager 6 and 8: Verify that the 10-gauge red wire from the
charger receptacle is connected to the same large post of the solenoid as the 6-gauge red wire that
connects to the positive (+) post of battery no. 1 (Figure 8-2, Page 8-3).
3.2. Carryall 2/252, Turf 2/252 and XRT 900: Verify that the 10-gauge red wire from the charger recep-
tacle is connected to the positive (+) post of battery no. 1 (Figure 8-2, Page 8-3).
3.3. Verify the 10-gauge red wire of the charger receptacle is connected to the main harness red wire
at three wire plug.
3.4. Make sure the two nuts that secure the two 10-gauge black wires to the receptacle fuse assembly
are tight (Figure 8-7, Page 8-13).
3.5. Check the connections of the 18-gauge gray wire from the receptacle to the sense lead fuse, and
from the sense lead fuse to the onboard computer gray wire. See following WARNING.

WARNING
• Do not bypass the sense lead fuse.

3.6. Remove the gray sense lead fuse and check it for continuity with a multimeter set to 200 ohms. The
resistance should be less than 2 ohms.
4. With a multimeter set to 200 volts DC, measure the voltage of the battery pack between the positive (+)
post of battery no. 1 and the negative (–) post of battery no. 8 (Figure 8-8, Page 8-14). Normal no-load
voltage should be between 50 and 52 volts for fully charged batteries. The voltage of the battery pack
must be over 32 volts DC to allow the onboard computer to close the charger relay. If battery pack voltage
is too low to start charger, temporarily bypass the charger relay. See Charging a Battery Pack that has
Low Voltage on page 8-29.
