Test B: Charge Indicator Always On

  1. If diagnostic system check was not performed, go to ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK  under ON-VEHICLE TESTING. If diagnostic system check was performed, go to next step.
  2. 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 is intermittent. Check wiring and connections.
  3. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located under instrument panel, near steering column. With scan tool, observe the Battery Voltage parameter in the Instrument Panel Cluster 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 .
  4. Replace IPC. See appropriate INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. Go to next step.
  5. Operate system to verify repair. If condition was corrected, system is okay. If condition was not repaired, go to step  2.
