Since all accessories are running when ignition is in position 2 (versus 1)...you should see the battery's voltage drop faster if you're monitoring battery voltage only.
If for some reason you have the low instrument cluster (uses the GRAPHIC display for check control and only has ONE button (left side of cluster)...the UNLOCK procedure and display of TESTs is slightly different...click this link and scroll down and click on the LOW CLUSTER thumbnails : http://www.cardomain.com/ride/313409...series/page-6/ |
Update....
Unlocked the cluster and with engine running, a/c max, lights on and radio on, my voltage is 11.2 - 11.4. I believe my alternator is toast? I'll be getting another this evening to install. I hope this solves most if not all of my ABS/ DSC issues!
Thanks for the tip and help guys!!
