Digital Multimeter Usage Guide

This document provides instructions for using a digital multimeter to diagnose electrical problems by checking voltage in the charging system, voltage drop, spark plug wire resistance, and parasitic battery drain. It lists the correct meter positions and specified values to compare for the charging system voltage, voltage drop, spark plug wire resistance, and maximum battery drain. Students are to record their actual measurement values.
