re.stNumber4--Charging SystemYo1tage.an4.Current
The function of the charging system is to keep the battery in an optimum
state of charge. to provide the necessary current to start the engine,
and operate the electrical systems whenthe engine is running. The
battery is charged by an a1ternator that is driven by a be1t connected
to a pulley on the engine crankshaft, The alternator generates an a1ter-
nating current (A. C. ) that is converted by internal diodes into direct
current (D. C.) to charge the battery. A regulator is needed in the
charging system because the alternator output voltage increases as the
engine speed increases. The regulator keeps the alternator output voltage
at a safe upper limit so the battery wi11 not be overchargedand the
headlights and accessories wil1 not be damagedby excessive voltage.
1. P1ace function switch in the VOLTS position. The Center Slide Switch
must be in the OTHER TESTS position.
2. Slide the RANGE SELECTOR switch to the LOW range (0-16 volts) for
12 volt systemsor to the HIGHrange (0-32 volts) for 24 volt sy-
stems. Readtest results o~ the appropriate VOLTjS scale.
3. Be sure the shunts are in position on the Battery AmpsAdapteras
shownin KeyNo.l Page5 , before starting the vehicle.

4. Before performingSteps. start the engine and allow it to run for
10 to 15 minutes or until the engine compartmentis warm,then shut
it off. In order to obtain proper results from this test, the
battery must be partially discharged. To accomplishthis. switch
on the headlights and put the blower on HIGHfor a min1mum of one
minute, or removethe distributor wire to prevent the car from
starting and crank the engine for about 30 seconds, then follow step 5.
5. Start the engine. Operate at a fast idle (approximately1500 RPM).
Openthe starte~ ampsshunt. Note the battery charging voltage. The
meter should read over 12 volts and s1owlyrise to regulated voltage
in a few minutes (15 1/2 volts maximum).(Figure12)
6. Movethe Center S1ide Switch to the CHARGING AMPS position and note
the alternator charging rate comparedto vehicle specifications.(Figure 12)
Shortly after starting* an alternator in good condition should charge
from 50 to 80%of its rated capacity. and slow1ydecrease as the
battery regains its charge. The charging vo1tage will slowly rise
as the ampererate decreases and maximum regulated voltage is obtained.
7. Movethe Center Slide switch to the OTHER TESTSposition again for
voltage reading and operate the engine at fast idle until the
charging voltage stops increasing. Note the maximum voltage and compare
to vehicle specifications.
8, If the charging voltage exceeds 15 1/2 volts or as specified. replace
or adjust the voltage regulator. If the voltage reading is too high,
the defect could be:

Page 11
DE'.FECT ACTION
A. High resistance in the ground Clean and tighten all ground
circuit connections
B. Regulator set too high Adjust to the proper setting
(If adjustment is pos~ible)
Most late model vehicles use
a regulator which is of solid
state design and cannot be
adju5ted. Thesemust be re•
placed whenthey are defective.
C. Defective regulator ReplaceRegulator
lf the voltage reading is too low, the problem is either in the alternator.
regulator, or the battery.
9. If charging voltage DOESNOTslowly INCREASE, this mayindicate a
defective alternator. Rotate the Function Switch to the alternator
position. turn lights on and operate the engine at approximately 1200
RPM.Read the alternator scale. A reading in the gray defective
zone indicates defective diodes or windings in which case the alternator
diodes and windings are functioning properly.{F1gure 12).
10. If a low or no charging rate is indicated, check alternator output
under full field conditions by removingvoltage regulator control
action. (See pages12& 13 for connections.) To apply full field
voltage for maximum output, refer to vehicle specJfications to
detennine whether type 11A11 or 11B11 system is used for proper field bypass
connections.

There is a direct relationship betweendwell and timing. However,it is
only a one wayrelationship. If you change the dwell angle of the breaker
points, you w111automatically change the timing of the ignition. Changing
the timing, however*has no effect on the dwell angle. FORTHISREASON IT
IS IMPORTANT TORE-CHECK THETIMINGWHEVEVER THEDWELL ANGLE HASBEENADJUSTED.
Whenthe dwe11angle is increased, the timing is retarded. Conversely, when

the dwell angle is decreased, the timing is advanced. In fact, there is a
one~to•oneratio betweendwell and timing. For every one degree change in
dwell, there is a correspondingone degree change in timing. This can
sometimesbe used to makeminor changes in timing. If, for exampletit is
desired to advancethe timing two degrees, it can be done by reducing the
dwell angle two degrees. This assumesthat the dwell angle will not be
changedout of its specified range.
Dueto normalwear of the rubbing bloc~ the normal tendency is for the
dwe11angle to increase. This, of course, causes the itiming to becomeretarded
and results in a loss of powerand economy. If the engine has been properly
tuned initially, restoring the dwell angle to its original setting wi11
restore the timing to its original setting.

_Solenoids
A. Anti-Dieseling Solenoid Adjustment
The purpose of this device is to prevent engine run~on (dieseling) after
the key is turned off. Basic operation of this ·solenoid is as fo11ows:
Whenthe ignition key is in the run position, voltage is applied to the
solenoid, energizing it and causing it to movethe idle position of
the throttle. Curb idle 1s adjusted with the solenoid energized. When
the key is turned off the solenoid retracts and allows the throttle~
plates to close or return to a base idle, hence, sh~tting off the fuel/air
supply to the engine. Byusing the RPM,VOLTS, and OHMMETER sections
of your CraftsmanAnalyzer and specific tests described in your vehic1e,
service manual, you will be ab1e to diagnose faults and properly adjust
the anti-dieseling solenoid.
B. Air-Conditioning Solenoid Adjustment
The purpose of the Air Conditioning solenoid is to maintain proper engine
idle speed with the vehicle 1 s air conditioner running. It is
energized by the samecircuit as the Air~Conditioningclutch and
when energized 11kicks 11 the throttle enough to bring the idle to
its intended curb idle speed. ,By using the RPM.VOLTS, and OHMMETER
sections of your CraftsmanAnalyzer and specific tests described in
your vehicle service manual, you will be ab1e to diagnose faults
and properly adjust the air-conditioning solenoid.

The purposeof the fast idle function is to maintain proper engine
speed during cold engine and warm-upoperation. Additional throttle
opening1s neededwith the automatic choke butterfly valve in a closed
or partially closed position to keep the engine running smoothlyand
prevent stal11ng. The chokingaction provides a richer fuel~air mixture
during cold engine operation to compensatefor poor fuel;atom1zat1on. The
increased idle speed warmsup the engine quickly whichenhancesfuel-air
atomization and mixing.
The fast 1d1eadjustment screw seats on a camwhich is thennostat1ca11y
controlled through the choke linkage. As the engine warms.the chokeopens,
the fast idle camdrops to progressively lower steps and the fast idle
speed gradually approachescurbwidle. Ona fu11y-warmed engine, the fast
idle camreleases the fast 1d1eadjustment screw completely. Engine
idle speed is then controlled by the curb idle adjustment screw.
Fast idle adjustmentprocedures differ amongthe various automobiles.
Consult your specific vehicle service manua1for proper procedures. It
maybe necessary to bypass one or morespark timing or emissions system
controls, either vacuumor electric, while adjusting the fast idle.
Manylate mode1vehicles use a full electric or an electrically
assisted choke. It contains a sma11electric heater whichactivates a
bimetallic coil spring or be11ev111ewasher to reduce the choke time
under certain conditions. This heater maybe controlled by a temperature
switch located either in the choke housing or elsewhereion the engine.
TheOhnmeterFunction can be used to confinn switcHcontinuity, heater
element resistance and related wiring. The Voltmeterfunction is used to
confirmthe presence of voltage to and within the choke systemas directed
by your vehicle service manual. Use the RPM function to set fast idle

c..J/C-4 System(ComputerComnarid
.TestNumber32..-The General Motoi:-s Control}
Introducedin 1978on a limited numberof California mandatedemission-
controlled engines, the c..4 Systemis nowstandard equipmenton most of
the GeneralMotorscars (except diesel and EFI). Themain function1 of the
C-4 Systemis to maintain the carburetor air-fuel ratio at 14.7 to 1.0-~the
most efficient operating ratio for the catalytic converter. The electronic
carburetor receives a DWELL-TYPE voltage from the Electronic Control Module
{ECM) to maintain this air-fuel ratio under widely varying driving
conditions. The CraftsmanEngineAnalyzercan be used to check this
voltage by reading the six-cylinder DWELL scale, 0-60°, and by performing
the procedurein this section.
lMPORTANT-~TheC-4 Systemcould be malfunctioningwhenany of the following
conditionsare noticed:
11
ab) The vehicle instrument pane1°CHECK
ENGINE light illuminates.
) Poor engine performancewhichinc1udes:
1. Poor gas mileage
2. Lackof response to throttle
3. Hesitation, stalling. etc.
CompleteC-4 Systemdiagnostics, troubleshooting, and repair procedures
demandthat you obtain the specific service manualfor your vehicle and
engine combination. 1
CONNECTIONS:
OnG.M.cars equippedwith the C-4 System.a small. green, single-contact
OWELLMET£R connector is normallyprovided to check the DWELL voltage to
the carburetor (usually located under the hood near the right front
fender wheelwell, or near the carburetor; protruding from the wiring
harness). 00 NOTALLOW THELEADS TOTOUCH GROUND ORHOSES ..•THE:HOSES MAY
ALSO BECONDUCTIVE.
Usethe adapter pin as shownin'the figure below. Connectthe GREEN clip
from the CraftsmanEngineAnalyter to the adapter p1n. Connectthe
BLACK clip to a clean and secure groundsuch as the engine block, and the
REDclip to the positive (+) battery tenninal.
NOTE:The OWELLMETER should NOTcause a change in the engine operation
whenconnectedto the vehicle's OWELLMETER connector. If there is reason
to suspect that a changedid occur, recheck your connections.
TESTPROCEDURE
Position the FUNCTION SELECTOR switch on the CraftsmanEngineAnalyzer
in the DWELL position. All readings will be taken from the 6•cy11nder

Te~t Number33--GroundStrap Test (Engine Jo Bqqy}

The ground strap from the vehicle body to the engine provides the
return circuit from the 1i ghts and other accessories to the battery. A
defective groundstrap or groundconnections cou1dcause an inaccurate
voltage regulator setting. resulting in higher voltages to the electrical
system. The groundstrap can be tested as fo11ows:

2. Connectthe SLACK clip to a c1ean connection on the engine block and
the GREEN clip to a clean connection on the car body. Scrape away
grease or paint, if necessary, to makea goodmeta1~to-meta1connection.
3. Rotate Selector Switch to the POINTS LOVOLTS position.
4. Start engine and operate at approximately1200RPM.
5. Turn on headlights and note reading on the 0~3.2 Volt scale.

possible damageto the ana1yzer.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Insert the white plug OHMS lead into the correspondingtester socket.
2. Connectthe REDand BLACK clips to the lampunder test. Somelamps
have two filaments and each must be tested separately.
3. Set the Function Selector switch to the OHMS position.
4, Set the RangeSele~tor Switch to the LOW scale. The cold filament

filament is open-circuited and the lampmust be replaced.
Test Number34F•-MotorWinding~
TheOHMS scale can be used to test the windingsof manyof the motors
used in today•s vehicles such as the blower. wiper, headlampdoors, and
powerwindowmotors. Alwaysmakecertain whentesting the suspect motor
that it is completelydisconnectedfrom the vehicle. This will prevent
false readings as well as possible damageto the Analyzer.
Withthe guidanceof your vehicle service manualyou will be able to
diagnose an openwinding, a shorted winding, or a windingshorted to the
motorframe. Yourvehicle service manualwi11 specify what resistance in
ohmsshould be present across the various motor leads. Thesevalues will
typically be low in value, hence the X 1 position of the CraftsmanAnalyzer
RangeSelector should be used.
