There could be many reasons why you have trouble starting your vehicle. Your battery is likely the culprit. The battery creates the spark that is needed to turn on the engine. Here is one way you can test the voltage of your vehicle’s battery.
A multimeter is a common way to test your battery at home. This device measures the battery’s voltage and lets you know how much power is in the battery. You want to make sure the battery and battery terminals are free of debris and corrosion. When you touch the multimeter probes to the battery terminals, the voltage should read 12.5 to 12.6. If the voltage is less than this, then you should charge or replace the battery.
You can also bring your car or truck in for regular maintenance at Hendrick MINI, and a technician can check the voltage on your battery. Do not wait until you cannot start your vehicle.
