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.
