CURRENT LEAKAGE TEST

Turn the ignition switch to OFF and disconnect the
negative (-) cable from the battery.
Connect the ammeter ( +) probe to the negative (-)
cable and the ammeter (-) probe to the battery neg­
ative (-) terminal.
•
With the ignition switch turned to OFF, measure the
current leakage.
NOTE:
When measuring cur T- ent using a tester, set it to a
•
high range, and then bring the range down to an
appropriate level. Current flow higher than the
range selected may blow aut the fuse in the
tester.
While measuring current, do not turn the ignition
switch to ON. A sudden surge of current switch
may blow out the fuse in the tester.
SPECIFIED CURRENT LEAKAGE: 0.1 rnA max.
If current leakage exceeds the specified value, a
shorted circuit is the probable cause.
Locate the short by disconnecting connections one
by one and measuring the current.
