All test steps and entries must be conducted painstakingly.
Otherwise the test result may be incorrect.
Whenever possible, carry out tests with on-board electrical system battery installed and connected.
1 | Switch off ignition. |
2 | Switch off interior and exterior lights. |
3 | Switch off audio component (e.g. radio). |
4 | Connect battery test device to on-board electrical system battery. |
Do not connect battery test device to jump start or charging terminal point when the on-board electrical system battery is installed; always connect it directly to the on-board electrical system battery. |
Check battery test device is securely connected to on-board electrical system battery. |
Once the battery tester has been connected the currently measured battery voltage is displayed. |
5.1 | If, with the on-board electrical system battery installed, the "Surface voltage" message is shown during the test. |
5.2 | If, with the on-board electrical system battery removed, the "Surface voltage" message is shown during the test. |
6 | Conduct test procedure to match the battery tester menu navigation. |
7 | After the test print out the test code displayed and store it safely in a tamperproof manner. |
