Check Battery Current
electrical
Description
Check Battery Current means more than +1.5 to -2.0 amps is detected in the 12 VDC electrical circuits, and Pretrip will fail and display “PRETRIP FAIL AND COMPLETED”.
Activation Conditions
With all circuits off, current flow of more than +1.5 to -2.0 amps is detected in the 12 VDC electrical circuits. If this alarm occurs, Pretrip Test #2 will be skipped and Pretrip Test #3 will start. Refer to Section 3.6 for Pretrip information.
Unit Behavior
Pretrip will fail and display “PRETRIP FAIL AND COMPLETED”.
Reset Conditions
Auto reset if Pretrip is started again, or alarm may be manually reset using the display mounted keys or by turning the unit off, then back on again.
Corrective Actions
1. Check DC Current Draw and Sensor a. Observe current draw reading in unit data. Reading must be between +1.5 to -2.0 Amps. b. Check Individual Circuits: Isolate individual circuits and test amp draw. Must be in range. (Refer to Section 2.11 for correct electrical values.) 2. Check for Parasitic Loads: Check for electrical loads that are drawing current with all circuits OFF. Check for non-factory installed devices such as lift gates, inside lights, satellite systems, etc. These devices must be wired so as to not draw current during Pretrip testing.
