• When checking the condition of the ignition
system, it is vital to know the peak voltage.
• Cranking speed is dependant on many factors
(e.g., fouled or weak spark plugs or a weak
battery). If one of these is defective, the peak
voltage will be lower than specification.
• If the peak voltage measurement is not within
specification, the engine will not operate prop-
erly.
•Alow peak voltage will also cause compo-
nents to prematurely wear.
