Vehicle Preparation

  1. Block both front wheels. Apply parking brake and place transmission level in Park position. Turn off all electrical equipment.
  2. Perform crank signal check as follows: Disconnect wire from starter relay "S" terminal. Set test selector switch to position "22". Turn ignition key to "START" position. If reading is less than 5 volts, check battery voltage. Replace battery or repair circuit as necessary.
  3. If reading is more than 5 volts, reconnect wire to starter relay "S" terminal. Start and run engine until normal operating temperature is reached. Check that throttle is off fast idle and on curb idle. Turn engine off and place ignition key to "RUN" position (engine off).
