Detection

There is no detection process specifically for the basic electrical supply. However, failures of this type are generally detected by the BendixVORAD® system or the driver as some other type of fault code or symptom.

Fallback

There is no fallback for the electrical pretest, however, it may affect other systems.

Possible Causes

This pretest can be used for any of the following:

Corroded Power Contacts

Blown Fuse

Wiring Harness

Low Batteries
