- Using a voltmeter, touch negative lead of voltmeter to a good ground. Touch positive lead of voltmeter to each ground terminal. With vehicle running, voltmeter should indicate less than one volt. If volt-meter reading is greater than one volt, check for open, corrosion or loose connection on ground lead.
