4. Operating Modes and Functions
The KM05 offers four primary testing modes and several diagnostic functions to assist in automotive electrical troubleshooting.
4.1. Four Powerful Modes

The KM05 features four distinct modes, selectable via the mode button, for precise diagnostics:
- DC Voltage Mode: Used to measure direct current voltage, identify power lines, and detect shorts.
- AC Voltage Mode: Used to measure alternating current voltage, useful for checking sensors and signal waves.
- Resistance Mode: Measures electrical resistance, ideal for testing wires, grounds, and fuses.
- Diode Mode: Verifies the direction and integrity of diodes within a circuit.
This image displays the four primary testing modes of the KZYEE KM05: DC Voltage, AC Voltage, Resistance, and Diode, showing how readings appear on the device's screen for each mode.
4.2. Component Activation

The KM05 allows for safe activation of components by sending power or ground through the probe tip. This function is useful for testing relays, lights, fuel injectors, fans, and blower motors directly on the vehicle without disassembly. Built-in circuit protection safeguards vehicle ECUs.

This image illustrates various vehicle components such as lights, dashboard, door mechanisms, wipers, AC accessories, and radiator fans, all of which can be activated and tested using the KM05 Power Circuit Probe Tester.

4.3. Continuity & Signal Test

In Resistance mode, use the probe tip with a ground wire or auxiliary ground wire to test the continuity of wires and components. If the display shows "0.0Ω", the ground is good, the green LED will light up, and a beep will sound. The LCD will display "OL" if resistance is greater than 100KΩ. You can also verify continuity to ground or the battery using the power switch. If the circuit breaker trips, it indicates a secure connection with low resistance. The probe tip can pierce plastic insulation for testing without breaking connections.

For signal circuit testing, such as a MAP sensor, set the tool to AC Voltage mode. Connect the probe tip to chassis ground or the auxiliary ground lead. Connect a vacuum pump to the MAP sensor. Contact the probe tip to the MAP sensor positive terminal and observe the LCD readings, which should show a sine wave in normal conditions. Apply vacuum and check for changes. An abnormal LCD reading indicates a sensor problem.
4.4. LED Polarity Indicators

The KM05 features Red/Green LEDs to instantly indicate wire polarity. A red LED signifies a positive connection (power), a green LED indicates a negative connection (ground), and no light suggests an open circuit or break. This feature aids in quickly identifying shorts, bad grounds, or reverse connections without needing a separate multimeter.

4.5. Short Finder

To locate short circuits, which often manifest as a blown fuse or tripped electrical protection device:
- Remove the blown fuse from the fuse box.
- Use the probe tip to activate each contact of the fuse and power it up.
- The contact that causes the circuit breaker to trip indicates the short circuit.
- Note the wire's identification code or color, and trace the wire along the harness as far as possible. The tip probe can be inserted directly into the insulation.
This image provides a four-step visual guide on how to effectively follow and locate short circuits in a vehicle's electrical system using the KZYEE KM05 Power Circuit Probe Tester.
4.6. Trailer Light Test

To test trailer lights and connections:
- In DC voltage mode, clamp the auxiliary ground wire to the trailer ground line.
- Detect the contacts on the socket, then apply voltage to the tip of the probe.
- Check the trailer lights or other connections.
Note: If the circuit breaker trips, the contact may be grounded. Allow the breaker to cool for 15 seconds before resetting.
This image outlines a three-step procedure for testing trailer lights and their connections using the KZYEE KM05 Power Circuit Probe Tester, ensuring proper functionality.
4.7. Checking for Bad Ground Contacts

Probe the suspected ground wire or contact with the probe tip. If the green LED goes out, the red LED lights up, and the tool emits a beep, then this is not a true ground. If the circuit breaker trips, it is likely that the circuit has a good ground. However, be aware that large-current components, such as starter motors, can also cause the breaker to trip.
This image demonstrates how to check for bad ground contacts using the KZYEE KM05, explaining the visual and audible feedback provided by the device.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your KZYEE KM05 Power Circuit Probe Tester:
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the tester and its accessories in the provided case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect the cables and probe tip for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace damaged components immediately to prevent electrical hazards and ensure accurate readings.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1. Overload Protection

The KM05 features an 8A auto-reset circuit breaker to protect both the vehicle and the tool from overloads. If the current exceeds the limit, the tool will disconnect power and emit an audible alarm. Allow the breaker to cool for approximately 15 seconds before resuming operation. This eliminates the need for fuse replacement.
This image illustrates the overload protection feature of the KZYEE KM05, showing how the device disconnects power and sounds an alarm when current limits are exceeded.
7.2. Device Does Not Turn On
- Check Power Connection: Ensure the battery clip cables are securely connected to a functional 12V or 24V vehicle battery or external power source. Verify that the red clip is on the positive terminal and the black clip is on the negative terminal.
- Battery Condition: Confirm that the vehicle battery or external battery has sufficient charge. The KM05 requires a working power source to operate.
- Cable Integrity: Inspect the battery clip cables and the main cable for any damage or breaks that might interrupt power flow.
