Title: Perform charging-circuit voltage-drop tests.
Course: Automotive Technology II (MLR 3-Year Program) (20104-IIA) > Section: ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS: Charging System (Low Voltage)

Performance should include

- conducting a visual inspection of terminals, alternator, junction block, or battery
- conducting positive- and negative-side voltage drop tests.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How should a voltage-drop test on an alternator be performed?
- What is maximum voltage drop across the cable?
- What is the result of excessive voltage drop?
