Detailed Flow
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter motor and alternator test segments must be done as a set from start to finish.
If any malfunction is found, immediately disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
DIAGNOSIS WITH MULTITASKING BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC STATION GR8-1200 NI
Perform starting system test with Multitasking battery and electrical diagnostic station GR8-1200 NI. For details and operating instructions, refer to diagnostic station Instruction Manual.
How is the test result?
CRANKING NORMAL>>GO TO 3.
LOW VOLTAGE>>GO TO 2.
CHARGE BATTERY>>Perform the slow battery charging procedure. (Initial rate of charge is 10A for 12 hours.) Perform battery test again. Refer to diagnostic station instruction manual.
REPLACE BATTERY>>Before replacing battery, clean the battery cable clamps and battery posts. Perform battery test again. Refer to diagnostic station instruction manual. If second test result is “REPLACE BATTERY”, then do so. Perform battery test again to confirm repair.
COMPARISON BETWEEN ENGINE COOLANT AND CRANKING VOLTAGE
Compare engine coolant temperature and the cranking voltage with the specifications.
