    2. Verify terminal "1" is clean and tight.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO 2.

      NO: Repair terminal "1" connection. Confirm repair by performing complete Charging system test using EXP-800 NI or GR8-1200 NI (if available). Refer to the applicable Instruction Manual for proper testing procedures.

  2. CHECK TERMINAL "1" CIRCUIT

    Check voltage between generator connector F15 terminal 1 and ground.
