STARTER TYPE:
(Full System Test only).
AIR
The vehicle has an air starter. This selection will bypass the
starting (electrical) system test. You will be prompted to start the
engine, and then press ENTER to continue. The Micro700 will
proceed to the Charging System Test.
CONVENTIONAL
The vehicle has a conventional electrical starter. You will be
prompted to start the engine. During the engine crank or starting
cycle, the Micro700 will analyze the starter for proper operation.
Starting System Test Results
The Micro700 will display the cranking voltage of the starter and one
of two decisions.
CRANKING VOLTAGE NORMAL
The starting system is showing normal starter draw.
CRANKING VOLTAGE LOW
The cranking voltage is below typical limits. Troubleshoot the starter
electrical system using the manufacturer’s recommended procedure.
If you are performing a Full System Test, press ENTER to begin the
Charging System Test.
