Checking the voltage drop across the wire connecting the battery to the generator (engine V6)

1. Turn on the ignition.

To determine the abnormal condition of the connector, do not perform simultaneous testing of two connectors.

2. Connect a digital voltmeter to the terminal "B" of the generator and to the positive terminal of the battery. Connect the positive (+) lead of the voltmeter to the terminal "B", and the negative (-) to the battery.

1. Start the engine.
2. Turn on the lights, heater fan and other consumers of electricity and read on the voltmeter readings.

1. The voltmeter should show pressure of 0.2 V.
2. If the voltage is more than 0.2V, then the wire is damaged or is not securely connected to the terminals of the generator and the battery.

• To check the wires connect the terminal "B" and the positive terminal of the battery with additional wire fused.
• Check the connection wires to the terminals and make sure that the insulation of the wire is melted by overheating.

3. Finally, turn the engine in idle mode. Turn off all electric power consumers and stop the engine.
