TEST2 Test the condition of the power fuse and the cause of its fault
NOTESCheck that the engine is not locked
With the ignition off, measure the voltage between the negative 
battery terminal and the power fuse output.
Is the voltage greater than or equal to 10V?
The power fuse is sound The power fuse is faulty
With the battery disconnected, measure the resistance between 
the negative battery terminal and the power fuse output.
Is the resistance 
≥ 10 Ohms?
Disconnect the alternator + terminal and 
then measure the resistance between the 
negative battery terminal and the power 
fuse output.Possible external causes:
use of a "starter charger", excessively long 
use of starter (e.g.: activate the starter, gear 
engaged for driving the vehicle) etc.
Is the resistance 
≥ 10 Ohms?

TEST3 Wiring test
Check the condition of the battery terminals. 
Check that there is no corrosion on the battery 
terminals. Check that the terminals are 
correctly tightened and secure (see MR 411 
Mechanical, 80A, Battery, Battery: 
Removal - Refitting).
Are the terminals and posts in good condition 
and not corroded?Clean the terminals and posts or replace them, 
if necessary.
Check that there are no electrolyte leaks from 
the battery (cracks or breakage).
Check that the mechanical mounting of the 
battery is sound (see MR 411, Mechanical, 
80A, Battery, Battery: Removal - Refitting).
Change the battery and clean the surrounding 
area on the vehicle if necessary.
(see MR 411, Mechanical, 80A, Battery, 
Battery: Removal – Refitting). Is the battery in good condition?
Inhibit the engine injection (see 13B or 17B, 
Interpretation of commands).
With the starter activated, measure the voltage 
on connection BPDA between the + terminal of 
the battery, component 107, and the B+ of the 
starter, component 163.Repair the damaged wires and terminals. If the 
connection is faulty and if there is a repair 
procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, 
Electrical wiring repair, Wiring: 
Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, 
otherwise replace the wiring Is the voltage > 1 V?

TEST3
CONTINUED
Check that all the wires connecting the battery, 
the alternator and the starter are secure and in 
good condition, and that all their terminals are 
correctly tightened and secure.
Repair the damaged wires and terminals. If the 
connection is faulty and if there is a repair 
procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, 
Electrical wiring repair, Wiring: 
Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, 
otherwise replace the wiring With the engine running and the main beam 
headlights lit and the heated rear screen on, 
measure the voltage between the B+ of the 
battery, component 107, and the B+ of the 
alternator, component 103.
Is the voltage > 0.7 V?
With the engine running and the main beam 
headlights lit and the heated rear screen on, 
measure the voltage between the negative 
terminal of the battery, component 107, and 
the alternator frame, component 103.Check the earths of the engine, the alternator, 
the chassis, the gearbox, the battery, or the 
starter (check the tightness and condition of 
the terminals and the condition of the wires) 
(see Technical Note for the relevant 
vehicle).
Repair the damaged wires and terminals. If the 
connection is faulty and if there is a repair 
procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, 
Electrical wiring repair, Wiring: 
Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, 
otherwise replace the wiring Is the voltage > 0.7 V?
The electrical circuit is in good order.
