Test H: Charge System Warning Indicator Never On

  1. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect generator 2-pin harness connector. Connect a fused 10-amp jumper wire between ground and generator Yellow/Black wire terminal. Turn ignition switch to RUN position and start engine. If charge system warning indicator does not illuminate, reconnect generator harness connector and go to next step. If charge system warning indicator illuminates, repair charging system. See GENERATORS & REGULATORS - VILLAGER article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS.
  2. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect instrument cluster 12-pin harness connector C266a. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Measure voltage between ground and instrument cluster harness connector C266a terminal No. 6 (Blue wire). See Figure. If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or more, go to step  5.
  3. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Remove joint connector No. 2. from Battery Junction Box (BJB). BJB is located on left front of engine compartment. Remove shorting strip from joint connector No. 2. Measure resistance of Yellow wire between instrument cluster harness connector C266 terminal No. 4 and joint connector No. 2 33-pin harness connector C2011 terminal No. 2. See Figure and Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Yellow wire.
  4. Disconnect generator 2-pin harness connector. Measure resistance of Yellow/Black wire between generator harness connector C2011 terminal and joint connector No. 2 harness connector terminal No. 5. See Figure. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace shorting strip. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Yellow/Black wire.
  5. Disconnect all instrument cluster harness connectors. Inspect for corroded or pushed out pins. Connect all instrument cluster harness connectors. Operate system and verify if concern still exists. If concern still exists, replace instrument cluster. See REMOVAL & INSTALLATION . If concern does not exist, system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
