Electronic Drains That Shut Off When The Battery Cable Is Disconnected

1. Repeat steps 1 through to 6 of Drain Testing.
2. Without starting the engine, turn the ignition ON for a moment and then OFF. If applicable. wait 12 seconds for the illuminated entry lamps to turn off.
3. Connect the ammeter and read the current.

Test Conclusion
The current reading (current drain) should be less than 0.05 amp. If it exceeds 0.05 amp after a few minutes, and if this drain did not show in previous tests, the drain is most likely caused by a malfunctioning electronic component. As in previous tests, remove the fuses in the control junction box one at a time to locate the cause of the drain.
