Abnormal Waveforms

Abnormal Waveforms Examples:






NOTE:
1. The size of the waveform patterns differs largely, depending on the adjustment of the analyzer's variable knob.
2. Identification of abnormal waveforms is easiest with a large output current (regulator not operating). These waveforms can be observed when the headlights are on.
3. Check the condition of the charging warning light (illuminated/not illuminated). Also, and check the charging system totally.
