Starter Ground Circuit

  1. Connect voltmeter positive lead to starter housing. Connect voltmeter negative lead to battery negative terminal. Crank engine over with a remote starter switch.
  2. Voltmeter reading should not exceed 0.2 volt. A reading less than 0.2 volt indicates a voltage loss in ground cable which is normal.
  3. A voltage loss of more than 0.2 volt indicates excessive voltage loss in starter ground circuit.
  4. Disconnect voltmeter. Reconnect to the following points and repeat test at each connection.
    • Starter drive housing.
    • Cable terminal at engine.
    • Battery cable clamp.
  5. A small change will occur each time a portion of the circuit is removed from test. A definite change in voltmeter indicates last part eliminated in test is at fault.
