Most modern engine designs now include coil-on-plug (C-O-P) ignition systems, with the module driver built into the C-O-P assembly. Ignition waveforms have been used for many years to quickly identify the causes of many engine driveability problems.
A pair of silicone-insulated test leads, a retractable 6-meter cable reel, assorted T-sockets, alligator clips, straight and angled backprobes, cable piercers and a protective case are also included. The silicone cables will not be damaged by hot engine parts and the leads are compatible with 4mm instrument sockets. Each lead is made from bright yellow double-insulated silicone cabling and is terminated with an industry-standard 4mm plug that’s marked with a unique reference number. A pair of each size, both male and female, is included. The kit comes with a range of both flat and round pins, ranging from 6.3mm flat to 1.5mm round. This comprehensive kit features a variety of adapter leads that enable the user to connect to virtually all the automotive connectors found on import and domestic vehicles. It also enables a large shop with more than one recycling machine to service a hybrid with any one of them. l% specification that flushing methods typically reach, according to the manufacturer. The easily connected Charge Guard oil-removal device, using a sophisticated filtering system, works much faster than performing a refrigerant flush, and reduces potential cross-contamination 90% below even the SAE. The Charge Guard is an external oil removal device that eliminates that need, and, in fact, makers of some new machines do not even offer the flushing modification, recommending the Charge Guard instead. Although many new machines incorporate the flush procedure, almost all existing machines would require modification. The typical approach to meet it is to flush the hoses and plumbing of the machines with refrigerant prior to electric-drive compressor system service.
1% for maximum oil cross-contamination on an individual service. These use POE (polyol ester) oil, and even 1% cross-contamination would reduce the resistivity of the oil below the manufacturer’s specs, posing a potential high-voltage danger to technicians.Īlthough the problem is one that could occur with repeated service, the industry is promoting special procedures to positively prevent the problem. Most a/c technicians understand that residual PAG oil in the lines of recycling machines must be kept out of the systems of hybrids with electric drive compressors. Without further ado, we proudly present the best of the best for 2010. We offer our sincere thanks to all companies that submitted candidates for consideration, and a special congratulations to each of this year’s all-stars. As in years past, we were impressed by the quality and ingenuity of the entries we received. Motor’s annual Top 20 Tools competition is now in its 19th year. Show us something that makes us say: “Wow!
