Electrical System — General Description and Precautions When checking electrical equipment, a motorist, referring to technical documentation, constantly encounters such concepts as voltage, current, resistance. Voltage is measured in Volts (IN), current strength - in Amperes...
Measuring instruments To carry out the measurements necessary for servicing vehicles, so-called combined measuring and control instruments are commercially available. They combine a voltmeter to measure voltage, an ammeter to measure...
Voltage measurement The presence or absence of voltage can be checked with a simple test light or tester. Of course, this way you can check the voltage only when it exists at all. To check the amount of voltage present, a voltmeter is...
Current measurement It is relatively rare to measure the current strength. This requires an ammeter, which can also be an integral element of combined instrumentation. Before measuring the current strength, the measuring range is set on...
Resistance measurement Before measuring, it is imperative to make sure that the contacts to which the ohmmeter is connected are not energized. This means that you should always disconnect the battery first. Otherwise, the meter or the...
Troubleshooting electrical equipment When troubleshooting an electrical installation, a systematic approach is essential. This applies to both checking a failed incandescent bulb and finding the reasons for stopping the electric motor. The first step...
Battery — check Electrolyte Density Check The density of the electrolyte, combined with the voltage measurement data, makes it possible to draw a conclusion about the condition of the battery. To check, you need a hydrometer, which can...

Headlights — removal and installation Headlights Removing 1. Open the hood and disconnect the wire terminal «masses» (-) from the battery. 2. Unscrew bolts 1 and remove logo A by pressing it out with a flat screwdriver (see illustration). 5.2 Unscrew bolts...
Front glass cleaner — removal and installation After about six months of operation, the rubber band of the wiper blade is erased and does not always provide a sufficient degree of glass cleaning. In this case, there are two options for replacing the brushes. You can...
Battery tray — removal and installation Removing 1. Disconnect the wire terminals from the battery, remove the air filter, and then the battery. 2. Move aside the tank 1 of the refrigerant of the air conditioner without opening the circulation circuit (see...
Instrument panel — removal and installation When purchasing a used car, you should check the operation of the indicators and warning lights on the instrument panel. 1. Disconnect the wire terminal «masses» (-) from the battery. 2. Disconnect the cable 2 of the...
Ignition system — general information and precautions The ignition system ensures the timely formation of a spark discharge necessary to ignite the air-fuel mixture supplied to the combustion chambers of gasoline engine cylinders. To form a spark discharge of the required...
Spark plugs — general information The spark plug consists of a central electrode, an insulator with a housing, and one or more electrodes. Between the center electrode and the side (lateral) an ignition spark jumps, igniting the air-fuel mixture....
Spark plugs — removal Attention! The procedure is given on the example of cars with a gasoline engine ES9J4. 1. Remove the intake manifold. 2. Disconnect the power plug of the ignition coil unit. 3. Remove block 1 of the ignition coils by...
