Charged Too High

Charge too high

Checking charge voltage

Hint: When a battery charger or starter unit is connected to the battery it is important that the correct voltage is set.
Charging at too high a voltage can cause diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) to be stored.




- Start the engine.
- Connect a voltmeter between battery terminals.
Battery voltage should be less than 16 V.





Is the battery voltage OK?

Yes - Intermittent fault

No - Checking charging system

-------------------------------------------------

Checking charging system
Check charging system for too high charge voltage , see Service Manual Section 3 (31-33) power supply system 200/700.


Continue - Fault-tracing information

-------------------------------------------------

Intermittent fault
The control module has earlier registered too high voltage. This may have been caused by a battery charger with faulty voltage being connected to the battery or an intermittent fault in the charging regulator.

Information

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
It is possible to view the information again, or leave fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Do you want to view the information again?

Yes - Attempt New Test

No - Fault Found

Attempt New Test - Checking charge voltage

FAULT FOUND - DONE

DONE - DONE
