Title: Perform charging-circuit voltage drop tests; determine needed action.
Course: Automotive Technology III (20104-III) > Section: ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS: Charging System (Low Voltage)

Procedures should include

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

Process/Skill Questions:

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