Measuring the peak voltage

The condition of the ignition system can be
determined by measuring the peak voltage.
Cranking speed is effected by many factors,
such as fouled or weak spark plugs, or a
weak battery. If one of these factors is
present, the peak voltage will be lower than
specification. In addition, if the peak voltage
is lower than specification the engine will not
operate properly.
DC V
NOTE:
• Use the peak voltage adaptor with the digi-
tal circuit tester.
• When measuring the peak voltage, set the
selector on the digital circuit tester to the
DC voltage mode.
• Connect the positive pin on the peak volt-
age adaptor to the positive terminal of the
digital circuit tester.

Measuring the lower resistance

62Y5A11
When measuring a resistance of 10 Ω or less
with the digital circuit tester, the correct mea-
8
surement cannot be obtained because of the
internal resistance of the tester. To obtain the
correct value, subtract the internal resistance
from the displayed measurement.
Correct value =
displayed measurement – internal
resistance
NOTE:
Obtain the internal resistance of the digital
circuit tester by connecting both of its probes
and checking the display.
