Operations
This section describes how to use the tester to perform tests on car batteries and charging systems. The menu-driven display will guide you step by step through the test process.
Connecting The Tester
The tester powers on automatically when it is correctly connected to the battery. The preferred test position is at the battery terminals. If the battery is not accessible, you may test at the jumper post; however, the power measurement may be lower than the actual value.
To connect the tester:
- Clean the battery posts or side terminals.
- Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal.
- Rock the clamps back and forth to make sure the clamps are firmly connected. In case the connection is poor, a “CHECK CONNECTION” message displays.
- When the tester is correctly connected, it boots up automatically and show the voltage of the battery.
Battery Test
Battery Test is mainly used to check the cold cranking capability and the aging status of the battery. It informs the user to replace battery before the battery is getting aged.
To start a battery test:
- Scroll with the UP or DOWN button to highlight Battery Test from Main Menu and press the ENTER key.
- Scroll with the UP or DOWN button to highlight the voltage from Main Menu and press the ENTER key.
- Scroll with the UP or DOWN button to highlight the TEST TYPE from Main Menu and press the ENTER key.
- Scroll with the UP or DOWN button to highlight OUT OF VEHICLE or IN VEHICLE from BATTERY LOCATION menu and press ENTER to select the battery location.
Cranking Test
To start cranking test:
- Press the ENTER button for cranking test.
- Start the engine when prompted.
- The tester displays the decision on the starter system, cranking voltage, and cranking time in milliseconds.
No. | Test Results | Interpretation |
---|---|---|
1 | CRANKING NORMAL | The starter voltage is normal and the battery is fully charged. |
2 | LOW VOLTAGE | The starter voltage is low and the battery is fully charged. |
3 | CHARGE BATTERY | The starter voltage is low and the battery is discharged. Fully charge the battery and repeat the starter system test. |
4 | REPLACE | Battery must be replaced before the starting system can be tested. |
5 | NO START | No vehicle start detected. |
6 | CRANKING SKIPPED | A start was not detected. |
Charging System Test
Once you have completed an in-vehicle test, the display alternates between the battery test results and the message press ENTER for charging test. Press ENTER to proceed with the charging test.
To start charging system test:
- Follow the on-screen prompts to Rev the engine.
- Turn on high beams headlights and the blower fan.
- Rev engine with loads on.
- Idle engine and turn off loads.
- The Charging System decision is displayed at the end of the procedure.
No. | Test Results | Interpretation |
---|---|---|
1 | NO PROBLEMS | System is showing normal output from the alternator. |
2 | NO OUTPUT | No alternator output detected. Check all connections to and from the alternator, especially the connection to the battery. If the connection is loose or heavily corroded, clean or replace the cable and retest. If the belts and connections are in good working condition, replace the alternator. (Older vehicles use external voltage regulators, which may require only replacement of the voltage regulator.) |
3 | LOW OUTPUT | Alternator not providing sufficient to power the system's electrical loads and charge the battery. Check the belts to ensure the alternator is rotating with the engine running. Replace broken or slipping belts and retest. Check the connections from the alternator to the battery. If the connection is loose or heavily corroded, clean or reparable the cable and retest. |
4 | HIGH OUTPUT | Alternator voltage output exceeds the normal limits. Make sure there are no loose connections and the ground connection is normal. If there are no connection problems, replace the regulator. Most alternators have a built-in regulator that requires replacing the alternator. In older vehicles that use external voltage regulators, you may need to replace only the voltage regulator. |
5 | EXCESSIVE RIPPLE | Excessive AC ripple detected. One or more diodes in the alternator are not functioning or there is stator damage. |
