Recommended Procedure:. Use a starter system tester.. Connect and operate the equipment in accordance
with the manuf acturer's instructions.
Alternate Procedure
1. Hook up the following equipment:. Ammeter, 0 400 A. Voltmeter, 0 20 V (accurate within 0.1 volt). Tachometer,0 1200 rpm
2.Remove the No. 17 (15A) fuse from the under-dash
