Test B: Charge Indicator Light Always On

  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  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  2. Start engine. If battery charge indicator light remains illuminated after 5 second bulb check, go to next step. If battery charge indicator light does not remain illuminated after 5 second bulb check, problem may be intermittent. Check wiring and connections, and see PRELIMINARY INSPECTION  under TROUBLE SHOOTING.
  3. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Using scan tool, observe ignition 0 parameter from PCM data list. If voltage measures 10-15 volts, go to next step. If voltage does not measure 10-15 volts, go to TEST A: CHARGING SYSTEM TEST .
  4. Replace instrument panel cluster. See ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS - AZTEK article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. After repairs are made, go to next step.
  5. Operate system to verify repair. If problem was found and corrected, system is okay. If problem was not found and corrected, go to step  2.
