Textbook Problem

Which of the following tests would not be performed to check for high resistance in the battery' cables?

1. Cranking voltage test

Insulated circuit resistance test

Starter relay by-pass test

Ground circuit resistance test

To determine

The test that should be not performed to check high resistance in the battery cables.

Explanation of Solution

To check the resistance in the cables of a battery the test that performed are as follows:

1. Insulated circuit resistance test:

All the starting circuit wiring is made up of heavy insulated wires which consist of high current cables and connections from the battery. Thus, to check the flow of current into these cables due to the resistance, an insulated circuit test is performed.

2. Starter relay by-pass test:

This test is mainly conducted for checking the operation of the relay in the starting circuit...
