Starter Load Test

Fig. 4 Starter Load Test Connections:

1. Connect test equipment as shown, Fig. 4, ensuring that there is no current flowing through ammeter and heavy duty carbon pile rheostat portion of circuit.
2. Disconnect push on connectors at starter solenoid and connect remote control starter switch from positive battery cable to S terminal of starter solenoid.
3. Crank engine with remote starter switch and determine exact reading on voltmeter.
4. Stop cranking engine, then reduce resistance of carbon pile until voltmeter indicates same reading as when engine was cranked. Ammeter should read less than 500 amps.
