Cold Cranking Test

NOTE: Ensure battery is fully charged. A cold engine increases starter draw amperage.
  1. Connect battery load/charging system tester to battery, and connect remote starter switch to starter relay. Set voltmeter selector to 18-volt position. Adjust ammeter reading to zero.
  2. Disconnect coil wire from distributor cap. Attach coil wire to ground to prevent engine from starting. Crank engine, and note cranking voltage and amperage. Replace or repair starter if it is not to specifications. See appropriate STARTER SPECIFICATIONS table listed below:
