VOLTAGE DROP TEST
The Voltage Drop Test is used to test for bad
connections. When performing the test, you are
testing the amount of voltage drop through the
connection. A poor or corroded connection will
appear as a high voltage reading. Voltage shown on
the meter when testing connections should not
exceed .1 VDC per connection or component.
To perform the test, place the meter on DC volts and
place the meter leads across the connection to be
tested. Refer to the chart on next page to perform
voltage drop tests on the starter system.
Voltage should not exceed:
.1 DC volts per connection
STARTER MOTOR
DISASSEMBLY
NOTE : Use only electrical contact cleaner to clean
starter motor parts. Some solvents may leave a
residue or damage internal parts and insulation.
