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 0.1 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 voltage drop tests on the starter system in this
chapter.
