Amperage Draw Test

NOTE: Tests are performed with standard volt-ammeter tester.
  1. Connect tester and remote starter switch. Set voltmeter selector to 16-volt position. Select function to 0-500 amp scale. Connect voltmeter leads to corresponding polarity battery terminals.
  2. Connect ammeter leads to corresponding battery terminals. Disconnect coil wire from distributor cap and attach to ground to prevent engine from starting.
  3. Crank engine and observe exact reading on voltmeter. Stop cranking engine. Turn tester control knob clockwise until voltmeter reads exactly the same as when engine was cranked with remote starter switch. Ammeter should indicate starter amperage draw of about 85 amps. Refer to the BOSCH STARTER SPECIFICATIONS  table.
