12. Press "ENTER" to proceed to the Charging System under Loads Test. One of
three results will be displayed, along with the actual voltage reading.
NORMAL – Charging System OK
LOW – Charging Voltage is Low – Alternator is not providing sufficient current
for the system's electrical loads and to charge the battery. Check belts and
connection from alternator to battery.
HIGH – Charging Voltage is High – Voltage output from alternator to battery
exceeds the normal limit. Check alternator connections, including ground
connection. Also, check manufacturer specifications, as output may vary by
vehicle type and manufacturer.
13. Turn engine OFF and remove the test leads from the battery posts after
completion of testing, always removing the negative clamp first and then the
positive clamp.
Counter Function
The tester is equipped with a counter function that allows you to track the number
of tests performed over time. The counter can be accessed through the
Configuration Screen. From the Home Screen, scroll down to CONFIGURATION
and press "ENTER" to go to the Configuration Screen. To access the counter, scroll
to COUNTER and press "ENTER". The tester will show the counter display, listing
the number of battery tests and the number of system tests that have been per-
formed since unit was first configured or last reset.
From the counter display, press "ENTER" to achieve the following next steps: return
to the Home Screen or reset the counter. The first choice shown will be RETURN
TO BATTERY TEST. Selecting this option will return you to the Home Screen.
Scrolling forward once will bring you to RESET. Press "ENTER" to see your reset
options, NO or YES. Scroll to your desired outcome and press "ENTER". If you
chose to reset the counter, the display will return to the counter display and show
zero tests preformed. If you choose NO, the display will proceed to the Home
Screen.
