2 Diagnosis and Troubleshooting of Automotive Electrical, Electronic, and Computer Systems, Fifth Edition By James D. Halderman © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 OBJECTIVES After studying Chapter 7, the reader should be able to: 1.Prepare for ASE Electrical/Electronic Systems (A6) certification test content area “A” (General Electrical/Electronic System Diagnosis). 2.Identify a series-parallel circuit. 3.Calculate current flow and voltage drops in a series-parallel circuit. 4.Identify where faults in a series-parallel circuit can be detected or determined.

3 Diagnosis and Troubleshooting of Automotive Electrical, Electronic, and Computer Systems, Fifth Edition By James D. Halderman © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUITS Series-parallel circuits are a combination of series and parallel segments in one complex circuit. A series-parallel circuit includes both parallel loads or resistances, plus additional loads or resistances that are electrically connected in series.
