5. Setup
- Connect to Power Source:
Attach the red alligator clip to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery and the black alligator clip to the negative (-) terminal or a good chassis ground. Ensure connections are secure.
- Power On:
Once connected, the device will power on, and the LCD display will show the battery voltage.
6. Operating Instructions
The eSynic DC Power Probe Circuit Tester offers multiple testing functions:
6.1. Voltage Testing
Simply touch the probe tip to the circuit or component you wish to test. The LCD display will show the voltage reading. The red LED indicates positive voltage, and the green LED indicates negative voltage or ground.

6.2. Continuity Testing
To test for continuity, connect the ground clip to a known good ground. Touch the probe tip to the component or wire. If there is continuity to ground, the green LED will illuminate, and an audible tone may sound.
6.3. Polarity Testing
Touch the probe tip to the circuit. The red LED indicates a positive voltage, and the green LED indicates a negative voltage or ground. The LCD will display the voltage value.
6.4. Component Activation
The tester can supply battery voltage or ground to activate components. Use the control switch on the handle:
- Press the switch forward (towards the probe tip) to supply positive (+) battery voltage to the probe tip.
- Press the switch backward (towards the cable) to supply ground (-) to the probe tip.
Caution: Do not apply power or ground to sensitive electronic components (e.g., ECUs) without consulting the vehicle's service manual. Overload protection will activate if the current draw exceeds 8A, indicated by an audible buzzer.
6.5. Short-Circuit Detection
To locate a short circuit, connect the tester to the vehicle's battery. Trace the circuit with the probe tip. When the probe encounters a short to ground, the green LED will light up, and the buzzer will sound. For shorts to positive, the red LED will light up.

8. Maintenance
- Keep the probe tip clean and free from debris.
- Store the device in its provided storage bag when not in use to protect it from dust and damage.
- Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the tester, as this will void any potential warranty and could lead to malfunction or injury.
9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to the device. | Incorrect battery connection; battery voltage outside 6-36V range; faulty cable. | Ensure red clip is on positive (+) and black clip on negative (-). Verify battery voltage. Check cable for damage. |
| LCD display is blank or unreadable. | Poor connection; extreme temperature. | Check connections. Allow device to return to normal operating temperature. |
| Overload buzzer sounds frequently. | Excessive current draw; short circuit in the tested component. | Reduce current draw. Inspect the component for short circuits before applying power. |
| Inaccurate voltage readings. | Poor contact with the test point; dirty probe tip. | Ensure firm contact with the test point. Clean the probe tip. |
