Peak voltage measurement
NOTE:
When checking the condition of the igni-
G
tion system it is vital to know the peak
voltage.
Cranking speed is dependant on many
G
factors (e.g., fouled or weak spark plugs, a
weak battery). If one of these is defected,
the peak voltage will be lower than speci-
fication.
If the peak voltage measurement is not
G
within specification the engine will not
operate properly.
A low peak voltage will also cause compo-
G
nents to prematurely wear.
Peak voltage adaptor
NOTE:
Throughout this chapter the peak voltage
G
adaptor's part number has been omitted.
Refer to the following part number.
The peak voltage adaptor should be used
G
with the digital circuit tester.
Peak voltage adaptor:
YU-39991/90890-03169
G
When measuring the peak voltage, con-
nect the peak voltage adaptor to the digi-
tal tester and switch the selector to the
DC voltage mode.
NOTE:
G
Make sure that the adaptor leads are
properly installed in the digital circuit
tester.
G
Make sure that the positive pin (the "+"
mark facing up as shown) on the adaptor
is installed into the positive terminal of
the tester.
The test harness is needed for the follow-
G
ing tests.
