Title: Differentiate between electrical and engine mechanical problems that cause a slow-crank or a no-crank condition.
Course: Automotive Technology III (20104-III) > Section: ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS: Starting System (Low Voltage)

Differentiation should include physically turning over the engine with a breaker bar.

Note: If the engine turns normally, according to vehicle make and age, the problem is electrical.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What mechanical problem could cause a slow crank?
- What is the voltage of a fully charged car battery?
- What is the available CCA of the battery?
- What could cause a no-crank condition?
