  1. If engine electrical diagnostic system check was performed, go to next step. If engine electrical diagnostic system check was not performed, go to ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK .
  2. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Observe charge indicator on Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). If charge indicator illuminates, go to next step. If charge indicator light illuminates during bulb check, problem may be intermittent. Check wiring and connections, see PRELIMINARY INSPECTION .
  3. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). See COMPONENT LOCATIONS . With a scan tool, observe the Battery Voltage parameter in the Instrument Panel Cluster data list. If voltage measured is 10-15 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, go to TEST A: CHARGING SYSTEM TEST .
