A vehicle that has a low cranking RPM is being diagnosed. After checking the battery a cranking voltage test measures 9.1 volts at the starter solenoid terminal. What should be done next?
A)Replace the starter
B)Perform a cranking current test
C)Check the voltage at the ignition switch
D)Perform a charging system output test

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cranking current test should be performed next to determine if the starter is drawing the correct amount of current. The low cranking RPM and the measurement of 9.1 volts at the starter solenoid terminal suggest a potential issue with the starter or the electrical supply to it, but it does not directly indicate a problem with the ignition switch or charging system. A cranking current test will help isolate the issue by showing whether the starter is drawing more current than it should, which could indicate a problem with the starter itself or the electrical connections to it.
