Gosh, Phil, I don't know anything at all. I'm just one of the guys who
sent Apollo space capsules to the Moon and maintained B-52 bombers to
defend the country. So I wouldn't know a damned thing, would I? ;-)

Anytime you're checking for voltage in a circuit, you always set your
voltmeter to a scale that's higher than what you expect to read. If
you're working in a circuit that might have AC voltage, you start with
your meter set on the highest AC voltage range and then work down to
the lower range you're looking for and you do the same with the DC
ranges if you expect to find higher voltages than just the battery
voltage.

And, yes, your Honda wiring can read 15 volts or slightly higher when
the engine is running.
