NOTICE
Never drop the water temperature sensor especially on a hard surface. Such a shock to the sensor can damage it.
Water Temperature Sensor Output Voltage InspectionTire Tread Wear Inspection
As the tire tread wears down, the tire becomes more susceptible
to puncture and failure. An accepted estimate is
that 90% of all tire failures occur during the last 10% of tread
life (90% worn). So it is false economy and unsafe to use
the tires until they are bald.

Alternator Inspection
There are three types of alternator failures: short, open
(wire burned out), or loss in rotor magnetism. A short or
open in one of the coil wires will result in either a low output,
or no output at all. A loss in rotor magnetism, which may be
caused by dropping or hitting the alternator, by leav ...
