• Checks ground strap from battery negative to transmission
• Unplugs ELD connector to test voltage jump with engine running
• Wiggle checks main fuse in hood fuse box
• Cleans battery terminals manually

Implied Software Gaps

• Mobile app that provides a systematic diagnostic workflow for automotive charging system issues
• Software that logs component test results and interprets voltage readings
• Vehicle-specific troubleshooting database integrated into a guided interface
