_____________________ is not effective until current flows, measuring the voltage drop
resistance
A V-6 is being checked for starter amperage draw the initial surge current was about 210 A and about 160 A during cranking. technician A says the starter is defective and should be replaced because the current flow exceeds 200 A , technician B says this is a normal current draw for a starter motor on a V-6 engine which technician is correct
technician B
if a cable or connection is __________ to the touch there is electrical resistance in the cable or connection
warm

And alternator could test as producing lower than normal output yet be OK if what
Battery is weak or defective, engine speed is not high enough during testing , and drive belt is loose or slipping
The neutral safety switch is located where
Between the ignition switch and the starter solenoid
Two technicians are discussing what could be the cause of slow cranking and excessive current draw technician A says that an engine mechanical fault could be the cause technician B says the starter motor could be binding or defective which technician is correct
Both technician A and B
voltage drop testing of the wire involves connecting a voltmeter set to read ______ volts to the suspected high resistance cable ends and cranking the engine
DC
To check the charging voltage connect a digital multi meter to the positive and the negative terminal of the battery and select what
DC volts
When testing an ohmmeter rotor if and om meter shows 0 ohms with 1 m lead attached to the slip rings and the other meter lead touching the rotor shaft the rotor is what
Defective shorted to ground
A magnetic field is created in the where in the alternator
Rotor
Alternator brushes are constructed from what
Silver copper alloy
Which unit contains a hold in whining in a pole and winding
Starter solenoid
The alternator output current is produced where
Stator
A technician connects one lead of a digital voltmeter to the positive terminal of the battery and the other meter lead to the battery terminal of the starter solenoid and then crank the engine . during cranking the voltmeter displays a reading of 878 mV technician A says that this reading indicates that the positive battery cable has to high resistance. technician B says that the reading indicates that the starter is the defective, which technician is correct
Technician A
A vehicle equipped with a V-8 engine does not crank fast enough to start . technician A says the battery could be discharged or defective technician B says the negative cable could be loose battery which technician is correct
Technician A and B
Technician A says that a discharge battery lower than normal battery voltage can cause solenoid clicking .technician B says that a discharge battery or dirty corroded battery can cause solenoid clicking, which technician is correct
Technician A and B
Technician A says that a voltage drop test of the charging circuit should only be performed when current is flowing through the circuit technician B says to connect the leaves of a voltmeter to the positive and negative terminals of the battery to measure the voltage drop of the charging system which technician is right
Technician A only
Technician A says that an alternator overrunning pulley is used to reduce vibration and noise technician B says that an over running alternator pulley or dampener uses a one way clutch which technician is right
Technician A only
Technician A says that the computer can be used to control the output of the alternator by controlling the field current technician B says that the voltage regulators control the alternator output by controlling the field current router which technician is correct
Technician A only
Technician A says that the two diodes are required for each stator winding lead technician B says that diodes change alternating current into direct current which technician is correct
Technician A only
Technician A says that a defective solenoid can cause a starter whine technician B says that a defective starter drive can cause a starter whining noise which technician is correct
Technician B
Technician a says that a wye- wound stator produces more maximum output then the same alternator equipped with the Delta wound stator. technician B says that an alternator equipped with a delta wound stator produces more maximum output in a wye-wound stator. which technician is correct
Technician B only
The maximum allowable alternating current in amps that is being sent to the battery from the alternator is what
Ten% of the rated output of the alternator
Foster a starter motor rotates the what
The less current it draws from the battery
If the clearance between the starter Pinion and the engine flywheel is too great
The starter will produce a high-pitched whine during cranking
Why should the lights be turned on when checking for the ripple voltage are alternating current from the alternator
To create an electrical load for the alternator
Operating an alternator in a vehicle with a defective battery can harm what
Voltage regulator
Bench testing of a starter should be done when
after reassembling an old starter and before installing a new starter
So cranking by the starter can be caused by all except
an open neutral safety switch
