17. When the test is completed, the display shows the
actual volts and the actual CCA or %.
18. Press the “t u” button to see the SOH (STATE
OF HEALTH) or SOC (STATE OF CHARGE) as a
percentage.
THE TEST RESULTS ARE AS
FOLLOWING
1. “GOOD PASS” - The battery is good and capable
of holding a charge.
2. “GOOD RECHARGE” - The battery is good but
needs to be recharged.
3. “RECHARGE RETEST” - Battery is discharged, the
battery condition cannot be determined until it is
fully charged. Recharge and retest the battery.
4. “BAD REPLACE” - The battery will not hold a
charge. It should be replaced immediately.
5. “TEST ERROR” - The tested battery is bigger
than 2,000 CCA or the clamps are not connected
properly. Please fully charge the battery and retest
after excluding both previous reasons. If reading
is the same, the battery should be replaced
immediately.
6. Press “ENTER” return to Step 4 to continue
testing or remove the test clamps from the battery
terminal to end test.
STARTING SYSTEM TEST
NOTE: BEFORE BEGINNING THE STARTING AND
CHARGING SYSTEM TEST, MAKE SURE THE
BATTERY IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND FULLY
CHARGED.
1. Connect the tester to a vehicle battery; the tester
will be in default “BATTERY TEST” mode. Press
the “u” button once to enter “SYSTEM TEST”.
The voltage, “XX.XX V” also appears on the
screen. Press the “Enter” button to go to next
step. The screen will show “TURN OFF LOADS
START ENGINE”.
2. Turn off all vehicle accessory loads such as lights,
air conditioning, radio, etc. and then start the
engine. Wait for the tester to detect the cranking
voltage.
3. When the engine is started and test complete, one
of the three results will be displayed along with the
actual reading measured.
a. “CRANKING VOLTS NORMAL”. The system
cranking voltage is in a good range.
b. “CRANKING VOLTS LOW”. The cranking
voltage is below normal limits; troubleshoot
the starter with manufacturer’s recommended
procedure.
c. “CRANKING VOLTS NOT DETECTED”. The
cranking voltage is not detected, retest. Press
the “Enter” button to go to next step.
CHARGING SYSTEM TEST
1. The screen will show “PRESS ENTER FOR
CHARGING TEST”. Press the “Enter” button to
begin charging test. The screen will show “MAKE
SURE ALL LOADS ARE OFF”. This is for testing
alternator idle voltage. Press the “Enter” button to
go to next step. The screen will show results. One
of the three results will be displayed along with the
actual reading measured.
a. “ALT. IDLE VOLTS NORMAL”. The system is
showing normal output from the alternator. No
problem is detected.
b. “ALT. IDLE VOLTS LOW”. The alternator is
not providing sufficient current to the battery.
Check the belts to ensure the alternator
is rotating with engine running. If the belts
are slipping or broken, replace the belts
and retest. Check the connections from the
alternator 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 condition, replace the alternator.
c. “ALT. IDLE VOLTS HIGH”. The voltage output
from the alternator exceeds the normal
limits of a functioning regulator. Check to
ensure there are no loose connections and
the ground connection is normal. If there is
no connection issue, replace the regulator.
Since most alternators have the regulator
built-in, this will require you to replace the
alternator. The normal high limit of a typical
automotive regulator is 14.7 volts +/- 0.05.
Check manufacturer specifications for the
correct limit, as it will vary by vehicle type and
manufacturer.
2. With the engine at idle, press “ENTER” for the
charging system with accessory loads test. Turn
on the blower to high (heat), high beam headlights,
and rear defogger. Do not use cyclical loads such
as air conditioning or windshield wipers.
3. The screen will show “TURN ON LOADS AND
PRESS ENTER”.

4. When testing older model diesel engines, you may
need to run up the engine to 2,500 RPM for 15
seconds.
5. Press the “ENTER” key to test the charging system
with accessory loads. One of the three results
will be displayed along with the actual testing
measured.
a. “ALT. LOAD VOLTS NORMAL”. The system is
showing normal output from the alternator. No
problem detected.
b. “ALT. LOAD VOLTS LOW”. The alternator is
not providing sufficient current for the systems
electrical loads and the charging current for
the battery. Check the belts to ensure the
alternator is rotating with the engine running.
If the belts are slipping or broken, replace
the belts and retest. Check the connections
from the alternator 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.
c. “ALT. LOAD VOLTS HIGH”. The voltage output
from the alternator to the battery exceeds the
normal limits of a functioning regulator. Check
to ensure there are no loose connections
and that the ground connection is normal.
If there are no connection issues, replace
the regulator. Since most alternators have
the regulator built-in, this will require you to
replace the alternator.
6. Press “ENTER” when charging system test is
completed. Turn all accessory loads and engine
off. Press “ENTER” to return to Step 1 or remove
the test clamps from the battery posts after
completion of testing to end test.
