Test J: Charge Indicator Always/Never On
- Disconnect generator 3-pin harness connector. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Connect a fused jumper wire between ground and Light Green/Red wire at generator harness connector. If charge indicator illuminates, repair charging system. See appropriate GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS. If charge indicator does not illuminate, go to next step.
- Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect instrument cluster 10-pin harness connector C-216. Measure voltage at terminal No. 2 (Yellow wire) at instrument cluster harness connector C-216. See Figure. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open in Yellow wire.
- Turn ignition off. Measure resistance between instrument cluster connector C-216 terminal No. 3 and Light Green/Red wire terminal at generator 3-pin harness connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace instrument cluster printed circuit and retest system. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair Light Green/Red wire and retest system.
