2. Safety Information
Always observe the following safety precautions when using the KZYEE KM10 Power Circuit Probe Tester:
- Wear appropriate eye protection.
- Do not use the tool on AC voltage circuits or household wiring.
- Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off before connecting or disconnecting the tool, unless specific tests require power.
- Avoid contact with moving engine parts or hot surfaces.
- The integrated 10A auto-reset circuit breaker protects the tool and vehicle from overload. If the breaker trips, allow a few seconds for it to reset.
- Keep the tool clean and dry.

4. Powering the Device
The KM10 offers dual power options for flexibility:
- Vehicle Battery Power Supply: Connect the red battery clip to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle battery and the black battery clip to the negative (-) terminal.
- Cigarette Lighter Power Supply: Insert the cigarette lighter adapter into the vehicle's 12V accessory socket.
Ensure a secure connection for stable operation. The device is designed to operate on 6V-30V systems.
The KM10 can be powered directly from the vehicle battery or via the cigarette lighter socket.

5. Operating Modes
The KZYEE KM10 features four primary operating modes, accessible via the mode button, for comprehensive electrical diagnostics:
- DC Voltage: Measures direct current voltage with 0.1V precision, ideal for battery and wire tests.
- AC Voltage: Checks alternating current voltage, including maximum/minimum values and frequency, useful for sensor signals.
- Resistance: Performs instant continuity checks and identifies breaks or ground faults.
- Diode Test: Allows testing of diodes without removal, checking one-way current flow.

6. Basic Testing Procedures
6.1 Voltage & Polarity Test
To test voltage and polarity, simply touch the probe tip to the circuit or component. The KM10's color TFT display will show the live voltage reading. Red and green LEDs on the unit will instantly indicate positive (red) or negative (green) polarity, eliminating guesswork.
The KM10 uses red and green LEDs to indicate positive or negative polarity.
6.2 Continuity Test
In Resistance mode, touch the probe tip to one end of the circuit or component and connect the auxiliary ground lead to the other end. The display will show resistance, and an audible beep will confirm continuity. This is useful for checking wires, fuses, and switches.

6.3 Component Activation
The KM10 allows you to safely apply power or ground to components for testing. Connect the probe to the component, then press the power switch to apply positive or negative voltage. This helps verify component functionality before replacement. Examples include testing cooling fans, fuel pumps, relays, injectors, and solenoids.

7. Advanced Diagnostics: Live Waveform Analysis
The KM10's color TFT display provides real-time waveform analysis, functioning as a mini-oscilloscope. This feature allows you to view live voltage, frequency, duty cycle, PWM signals, injector pulses, and sensor waveforms. This visual feedback is crucial for identifying intermittent faults, unstable grounds, weak sensor outputs, and signal dropouts, leading to more accurate and faster troubleshooting.

8. Troubleshooting
The KM10 is designed to simplify electrical troubleshooting. Here are common diagnostic scenarios:
- Finding Short Circuits: Use the probe to trace circuits. A sudden drop in voltage or a change in polarity indication can pinpoint a short. The auto-reset circuit breaker will trip if a direct short is encountered, protecting the circuit.
- Locating Open Circuits: Test for voltage at various points along a circuit. An absence of voltage where expected indicates an open circuit.
- Identifying Bad Grounds: Connect the probe to a suspected ground point and check for voltage. A voltage reading indicates a poor ground connection.
- Testing Fuses: Use the continuity test function to quickly check if a fuse is blown without removing it.
The KM10 assists in quickly finding shorts and fixing ground issues.
