Brake Line Bleeding
The brake fluid has a very low compression coefficient so
that almost all the movement of the brake lever or pedal
is transmitted directly to the caliper for braking action. Air,
however, is easily compressed. When air enters the brake
lines, brake lever or pedal movement will be partially used
...
Alternator Inspection
There are three types of alternator failures: short, open
(wire burned out), or loss in rotor magnetism. A short or
open in one of the coil wires will result in either a low output,
or no output at all. A loss in rotor magnetism, which may be
caused by dropping or hitting the alternator, by leav ...
Crankshaft Sensor Peak Voltage Inspection
NOTE
Be sure the battery is fully charged.
Using the peak voltage adapter [A] is more reliable way
to determine the condition of the crankshaft sensor than
crankshaft sensor internal resistance measurements.
Disconnect the crankshaft sensor lead connector (see
