8 steps for identifing if your starter generators have some promblems

Share it

Once the check is completed, the defective component can be fixed to get the starter generator working as intended.

1.The nominal voltage of a battery at full charge is 12.72 V. This has to be confirmed first.
2.If the voltage recorded at the battery terminals is over or below 3% of the nominal voltage, the problem is with the battery. There might be a few wiring issues as well. So before deciding that the fault is with the battery, you should check the wire connections.
3.Next to be checked is the key plug. The voltage that should be recorded at the key plug terminals is12 V. Any different reading and it might be the key plug that is faulty.
4.Next to check would be the footswitch by accelerating the cart. If the solenoid fails to click, the footswitch needs attention.
5.During this footswitch testing, if a voltage can be seen through the solenoid, the problem could be with the solenoid instead.
6.Next, check the brushes in the circuit.
7.If there is any difference in the voltage levels, either the brushes are left open at some terminal or they’re damaged.
