Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the M64 Starter Motor B+ terminal A X1 and ground.
|
|
| 9. |
If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
|
|
| 10. |
Test for less than 0.5 V between the positive battery cable and terminal A X1 at the M64 Starter Motor as ignition is switched to start position.
|
|
| 11. |
If greater than the specified value, replace the positive battery cable.
|
|
| 12. |
