Chapter 6: Cable Drop Test
Starter Circuit
The Starter Circuit Test measures the voltage drop of the
starter circuit.
1. SELECT CIRCUIT: Use the
UP/DOWN ARROWS
or the
numerical keypad to select the Battery Ground Test.
1 BATTERY GROUND
2 STARTER CIRCUIT
3 ALTERNATOR CIRCUIT
4 OTHER CIRCUIT
Press the
NEXT
soft key to continue.
2. SET AMPS: Use the
UP/DOWN ARROWS
or the
keypad to select the rated amperage of the starter
circuit. The default is 150 A.
Press the
NEXT
soft key to continue.
3. Connect the positive (+) clamp of the battery test leads
to the starter’s battery terminal stud. Connect the nega-
tive (–) clamp to the starter’s housing.
4. Connect the positive (+) DMM clamp to the battery’s
positive (+) post. Connect the negative clamp (–) to the
battery’s (–) negative post.
For the next few seconds the Tester will display
the word TESTING and a stopwatch while it
evaluates the battery ground.
