Real World Voltage Drop testing – Do this Test or you Will be Wrong
Here is a link for the leads I like. I buy mine from Snap-On for more, but these are the same thing. I love this site. If I were to buy my multimeter again, it would be this one.
@ScannerDanner Thank you for what you do and for leading the way in this area. I wish I had someone like your son to help me do this. I have to do it all myself. It is very hard, but I really want to help people get better at this.
This is a case study I came up with to show the value of voltage drop testing computer power and ground circuits. Do not ever guess In this video, we walk through a real-world case study on a 2015 Subaru Outback with a crank-no-start condition.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to locate and interpret wiring diagrams
✅ Step-by-step process to verify PCM powers and grounds
✅ Common mistakes that lead to unnecessary PCM replacements
✅ Proven diagnostic strategies to confirm whether the engine control module (ECM/PCM) is actually faulty
This video is designed to help technicians, and students understand how perform voltage drop testing quickly and accurately using real world numbers and test results. Do not guess when it comes to diagnosis. If you cant prove yourself right, then you are wrong.
📌 Whether you work in a professional shop or at home in the garage, this diagnostic workflow will give you confidence when tackling modern Subaru electrical issues.
🔧 Tools & Concepts Covered:
LoadPro testing with a Multimeter for power and ground verification
Using service information to trace circuits correctly
Recognizing when voltage drop is too high
