I get the message adjust failure on my WW. What does this mean and how do I address it?

Quoted from LTG:With a meter - see if battery power is getting onto the board.
Be sure it is wired right.
LTG : )
How do I that? Sorry I am not well versed in how to do things as I'm still learning.
Quoted from barakandl:game power off. black lead on ground. red lead p24 of the ram. should be battery voltage. use your dmm to figure out where is open circuit.
Can I use a circuit tester or anything else as I have no DMM?

Still not sure I understand what you are explaining to do?
The install had the continuity checked on the NEW battery holder.
Quoted from Taxman:I did not follow this thread because I saw a bunch of posts and figured this would be cleared up by now. But it kept coming to the top. Giving a quick read through the thread I think everyone might have missed the simple solution.
Whenever the batteries die or are removed from the game when off if goes back to factory settings. With many of the System-11 games this also means you get "Adjust Failure" until you open the coin door. Press the advance button and get into the menu to clear. I know you have to do this on Earthshaker, High Speed and Rollergames so I think Wirlwind will probably be the same.
Go in, set to free play and save. Check the manual for specifics for this game. I think with High Speed you had to go into the settings and then back it into the test mode then save. But your game might be fine and you just need to clear this.
Now, after you clear the adjust failure and play a game you need to power the game off for a few seconds and power it back on. If it goes back to factory setting and adjust failure again then yes you are losing the RAM data or power to the RAM.
Winner winner chicken dinner. This worked! 
Hopefully it doesn't reset but for now it worked after I turned it on again. Thank you everyone and shout out to Taxman and to
algrande for the battery holder.
