A metric to find torque tube misalignment - car fully assembled
It seems that drag on thrust bearings caused by torque tube misalignment would show up as excessive steady state starter
current draw.
Under normal conditions:
stalled starter draw -- approx 400amps
cranking starter draw -- approx 180amps
w/toruqe tube misaligned (speculated readings)
stalled starter draw -- approx 400amps
cranking starter draw -- approx 220amps
Create new error code - to be issued whenever steady state cranking overdraw is sensed.
