IQ PLUS CHARGER (EXTERNAL)
Voltage Suppressor – Failed Closed
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. Using a multimeter set to the diode test function (
sense lead pin (short pin) of the DC plug. Place the red (+) probe on the positive (+) pin of the DC plug.
The multimeter should indicate no tone. If a tone is emitted (indicating a closed circuit) then the voltage
suppressor has failed and should be replaced. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Repeated failure of sense lead fuses is a symptom of a voltage supressor that has failed in a
closed condition.
Relay
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. Remove black (3) and tan (4) wires from contact terminals of the relay (Figure 8-14, Page 8-19). Place
continuity test probes on contact terminals of the relay. The tester should indicate no continuity. If tester
indicates continuity, the relay contacts have failed closed and the relay must be replaced.
4. Place continuity test probes on contact terminals of relay. With batteries connected, insert DC plug into
receptacle. The tester should indicate continuity. If tester does not indicate continuity, relay must be
replaced.
Ammeter
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. Disconnect the black wire from the left ammeter post (as viewed from inside the charger).
4. Place the continuity tester clip on one of the ammeter posts.
5. Place the continuity test probe on the other ammeter post. The tester should indicate continuity. If the
tester does not indicate continuity, replace the ammeter.
AC Circuit Breaker
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. Disconnect the wires from the AC circuit breaker.
4. Place the continuity test probes on the two terminals of the AC circuit breaker. The tester should indicate
continuity. If the tester does not indicate continuity, replace the AC circuit breaker.
