Question
How to test faulty automotive power supply voltage regulator in auxiliary systems?
Answer
Monitor output voltage stability and test regulator response to load changes.
Explain
A faulty auxiliary voltage regulator causes inconsistent power to accessories (e.g., infotainment, lights). CHEPQ tools measure output voltage (13.8-14.4V) and test response to load variations (±0.2V deviation is acceptable), identifying regulators that fail under high load—replacing the regulator ensures reliable auxiliary system operation.
