WARNING: When lifting a plastic- cased battery, excessive pressure on the end walls
could cause acid to spew through the vent caps resulting in personal injury, damage to the
vehicle or to the battery. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the engine to duplicate the concern.
2. Inspect the charging system (battery, generator cable, harness connectors, connections) to determine if any obvious mechanical or electrical concerns exist. If found, repair as necessary
and test the system for normal operation. Refer to the following tables:
3. Check the operation of the charging system warning indicator lamp (instrument cluster). Normal operation is as follows:
zWith the ignition switch OFF, the charging system warning indicator should be OFF.
z With the ignition switch in RUN and the engine off, the charging system warning indicator
light should be on.
z With the engine running, the charging system warning indicator light should be off.
4. Verify the battery is being charged. Carry out the Battery— Load Test. Refer to Component
Tests in this section.
5. If the customer concern is verified after the initial inspection, refer to the Symptom Chart to determine which tests to carry out.

Battery—
Drain Tests
NOTE: No production vehicle should have more than a 50 mA (0.050 amp) continuous draw.
Check for current drains on the battery in excess of 50 milliamps (0.050 amp) with all the electrical
accessories off and the vehicle at rest. Current drains can be tested with the following procedure:
WARNING: Do not attempt this test on a lead- acid battery that has recently been
recharged. Explosive gases can cause personal injury.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the meter, do not crank the engine or operate
accessories that draw more than 10A.
NOTE: Many modules draw 10 mA (0.010 amp) or more continuously.
NOTE: Use an in- line ammeter between the battery positive or negative post and its respective cable.
NOTE: Typically, a drain of approximately one amp can be attributed to an engine compartment lamp,
glove compartment lamp, or luggage compartment lamp staying on continually. Other component
failures or wiring shorts may be located by selectively pulling fuses to pinpoint the location of the
current drain. When the current drain is found, the meter reading will fall to an acceptable level. If the
drain is still not located after checking all the fuses, it may be due to the generator.
NOTE: To accurately test the drain on a battery, an in- line digital ammeter must be used. Use of a test
lamp or voltmeter is not an accurate method due to the number of electronic modules.
1. Make sure the junction box/fuse panels are accessible without turning on interior and underhood lights.
2. Drive the vehicle at least five minutes and over 48 km/h (30 mph) to turn on and exercise vehicle systems.
3. Allow the vehicle to sit with the key off for at least 40 minutes to allow modules to time out/power down.
4. Connect a fused jumper wire between the negative battery cable and the negative battery post to prevent modules from resetting and to catch capacitive drains.
5. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the post without breaking the connection of the jumper wire.
6. NOTE: It is very important that continuity is not broken between the battery and the negative
battery cable when connecting the meter. If this happens, the entire procedure must be
repeated.
Connect the tester between the negative battery cable and the post. The meter must be capable
of reading milliamps and should have a 10 amp capability.
7. NOTE: If the meter settings need to be switched or the test leads need to be moved to another
jack, the jumper wire must be reinstalled to avoid breaking continuity.
Remove the jumper wire.
NOTE: Amperage draw will vary from vehicle to vehicle depending on the equipment package.
Compare to a comparable vehicle for reference.
NOTE: No production vehicle should have more than a 50 mA (0.050 amp) draw. Klj . 11 ba

8. If the draw is found to be excessive, pull fuses from the battery/central junction box one at a
time and note the current drop. Do not reinstall the fuses until you are finished testing.
9. Check the wiring schematic in the wiring diagram for any circuits that run from the battery without passing through the battery/central junction box. Disconnect these circuits if the draw is
still excessive.
Battery— Electronic Drains Which Shut Off When the Battery Cable is Disconnected
1. Repeat the steps of the battery drain testing.
2. Make sure all doors are closed and accessories are off. Without starting the engine, turn the ignition switch to RUN for a moment and then OFF. Wait a few minutes for the illuminated entry
lamps to turn off if equipped.
3. Connect the ammeter and read the amperage draw.
The current reading (current drain) should be less than 50 mA (0.05 amp). If the current drain exceeds
50 mA (0.05 amp) after a few minutes, and if this drain did not show in previous tests, the drain is most
likely caused by an inoperative electronic component. As in previous tests, remove the fuses from the
battery/central junction box one at a time to locate the problem circuit.
Generator On- Vehicle Tests
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the generator, do not make jumper wire connections
except as directed.
CAUTION: Do not allow any metal object to come in contact with the housing and the
internal diode cooling fins with key on or off. A short circuit will result and burn out the diodes.
NOTE: Battery posts and cable clamps must be clean and tight for accurate meter indications.
NOTE: Refer to the Battery Tester Procedure Manual for complete directions for testing the charging
system.
1. Turn off all lamps and electrical components.
2. Place the vehicle in transmission range NEUTRAL and apply the parking brake.
3. Carry out the Load Test and No- Load Test according to the following component tests:
Generator On- Vehicle Tests— Load Test
1. Switch the battery tester to the ammeter function.
2. Connect the positive and negative leads of the battery tester to the corresponding battery terminals.
3. Connect the current probe to the generator B+ output terminal, circuit 38 (BK/OG). Klj . 12 ba
