Test B: Charge Indicator Light Always On
- 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 under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- Start engine. If battery charge indicator remains illuminated after 5 second bulb check, go to next step. If battery charge indicator does not remain illuminated after 5 second bulb check, problem may be intermittent. Check wiring and connections, and see PRELIMINARY INSPECTION under TROUBLE SHOOTING.
- Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Using scan tool, observe BATTERY VOLTAGE parameter from Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) data list. If voltage measures 10.5-15.5 volts, go to next step. If voltage does not measure 10.5-15.5 volts, go to TEST A: CHARGING SYSTEM TEST .
- Replace IPC. See INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. After repairs are made, go to next step.
- Operate system to verify repair. If condition was corrected, system is okay. If condition was not corrected, go to step 2.
