Charging System Check

  1. Turn ignition to start. If engine cranks, go to next step. If starter solenoid does not click or starter solenoid clicks, but engine does not crank, diagnose starter. See STARTER article.
  2. Start engine. If charging system and indicator light are operating properly, check is complete. If battery is undercharged or overcharged, go to BATTERY UNDERCHARGED OR OVERCHARGED. If charge indicator is always on, go to CHARGE INDICATOR LIGHT ALWAYS ON  . If indicator is inoperative, go to CHARGE INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER ON  .
