IQ PLUS CHARGER (ONBOARD)
TEST PROCEDURE 7 – BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE TEST
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
1. With the batteries fully charged, disconnect the DC charger plug for approximately 20 seconds and then
reconnect it. The ammeter should jump to a reading between 14 and 18 amps and then taper to below
5 amps within 15 minutes.
2. If the charger does not taper to below 5 amps within 15 minutes, batteries may not be receiving a full
charge and the onboard computer should be checked. See Test Procedure 2 – Control Board on
page 9-11. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Batteries near the end of their useful lives may not allow the battery charge current to taper below
5 amps. See Section 13 – Batteries in the appropriate maintenance and service manual.
TEST PROCEDURE 8 – CONTINUITY
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
Short AC Cord and Retractable Cord Reel
Check continuity of the short AC cord and retractable cord reel at the same time.
1. Disconnect the AC cord from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the battery charger from the vehicle. See Onboard Charger Removal on page 9-31.
3. Remove the charger cover.
4. Disconnect the green wire (2) from charger case and position it so it does not touch any metal part of the
charger (Figure 9-12, Page 9-18).
5. Disconnect the black wire (1) of the short AC cord from charger AC circuit breaker.
6. Disconnect the AC cord white wire (4) from the control board.
7. Using a multimeter set for 200 ohms, place the red (+) probe on the terminal at the end of the black wire
(1) (Figure 9-12, Page 9-18). Test for continuity on each of the flat blades and then on the round pin of
the AC plug (on the retractable cord reel). The tester should indicate continuity on one flat blade only. If
any other reading is obtained, the short AC cord and retractable cord reel must be tested independently
of each other.
8. Place the red (+) probe on the end of the green wire (2) and with the black probe check for continuity on
both flat blades and on the round pin of the AC plug (on the retractable cord reel) (Figure 9-12,
Page 9-18). The tester should indicate continuity on only the round pin. If any other reading is obtained,
the short AC cord and retractable cord reel must be tested independently of each other.
9. Place the red (+) probe on the white wire (4) and check for continuity on both flat blades and on the
ground pin of the AC plug (on the retractable cord reel). The tester should indicate continuity on only one
flat blade. If any other reading is obtained, the short AC cord and retractable cord reel must be tested
independently of each other.
10. If the correct readings are obtained in all of the previous steps, the short AC cord and the retractable cord
reel are functioning properly. If any of the readings are incorrect, proceed to the following test procedures
to determine which of the two components has failed.
