Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

1. Repeat the steps of the battery drain testing.
2. Without starting the engine, turn the ignition switch to RUN for a moment and then OFF. Wait one minute for the illuminated entry lamps to turn off, if equipped.
3. Connect the voltmeter and read the voltage.
- The current reading (current drain) should be less than 0.05 amp. If current drain exceeds 0.05 amp after a few minutes, and if this drain did not show in previous tests, the drain is most likely caused by a malfunctioning electronic component.
- As in previous tests, remove the fuses from the fuse junction panel one at a time, to locate the problem circuit.
