TROUBLESHOOTING
TroubleshootIng
the
Datsun
can
be
relatlvely
simple
1f
done
lOgically
The
first
step
must
always
be
to
define
symptoms
as
closely
as
pos
Sible
Subsequent
steps
mvolve
testIng
and
an
alyzmg
areas
which
could
cause
the
symptoms
Procedures
m
thiS
chapter
analyze
typical
symp
toms
and
give
lOgical
methods
of
isolation
These
are
not
the
only
methods
There
may
be
several
approaches
to
solvmg
a
problem
but
all
must
have
one
thmg
m
common
a
lOgical
systematic
approach

description
of
the
functlon
of
each
mstrument
Voltmeter
Ammeter
and
Ohmmeter
For
testIng
the
ignitlon
and
electncal
systems
a
good
voltmeter
is
reqUIred
For
automotIve
use
an
mstrument
covenng
0
20
volts
is
salls
factory
It
should
have
an
accuracy
of
about
Ih
volt
which
excludes
the
common
auto
moUve
type
found
in
instrument
panels
An
ohmmeter
measures
electncal
reSiStance
and
is
reqUired
to
check
electncal
contInUity
open
and
short
circwts
and
for
testing
fuses
and
hghts
The
ammeter
measures
electncal
current
One
for
automotIve
use
should
cover
0
10
and
0
100
amperes
An
ammeter
is
useful
for
checkmg
bat
tery
chargmg
and
startIng
current
The
starter
and
generator
procedures
m
tlus
manual
use
an
ammeter
to
check
for
shorted
wmdmgs
Several
inexpensive
VOM
s
volt
ohmmeters
combme
all
mstruments
and
fit
easily
mto
any
tool
box
The
ammeter
ranges
are
often
too
small
for
auto
motIve
work
thougll
Hydrometer
A
hydrometer
is
necessary
to
check
battery
condition
and
charge
It
measures
specific
grav
ity
of
the
electrolyte
in
each
cell
Compression

Replacement
Whenever
a
fallure
occurs
m
any
part
of
the
electrical
system
always
check
the
fuse
box
to
see
1f
a
fuse
has
blown
The
fuse
box
is
located
on
the
firewall
within
the
engine
compartment
If
a
fuse
has
blown
It
will
be
eVident
by
bIacken
mg
of
the
fuse
or
by
a
break
of
the
metal
element
Within
the
fuse
The
wiring
diagrams
below
mdIcate
the
cir
cuits
that
are
connected
to
each
fuse
Before
replacing
a
fuse
always
detenIlIDe
what
caused
it
to
blow
and
correct
the
trouble
Never
replace
a
fuse
With
one
of
a
higher
amperage
ratIng
than
originally
used
Never
use
tmfOll
or
other
ma
tenal
to
Jump

Failure
to
follow
these
basic
rules
could
