The starting and charging system starts the engine, maintains the battery’s charge and provides power to the electric accessories while the engine is running.
Electrical System Service and Maintenance:
- Inspect the battery cables and posts for good connection and signs of corrosion. Clean if needed. The battery fluid should also be checked and filled if low, unless using a maintenance-free battery.
- Chronically weak batteries should be replaced before permanent failure
- Check all vehicle lights, including headlights, turn signals, brake lights and emergency flashers
- Inspect the engine belts
