Cable Error
Messages
Opens
The tester displays OPEN if it does not sense an interconnection that should exist in the cable.
For example, if this is correct and this was the error, the error would display like this.
If the User Preference Fault Location
were turned on, the open above would be
displayed like this.
An asterisk is added to the pin closest to
the open. The tester can do this by
sensing the lower capacitance of the
unconnected pin.
Opens are caused by:

Defects in the cable, such as missing or cut wires, defective or un-inserted connector
contacts, and cold solder joints.

The LV Insulation Resistance setting being set lower than the actual resistance of a
wire connection.

The Component Resistance setting being set lower than an electronic component in
the cable.
Miswires
The tester displays MISWIRE if it senses that a contact, which should have a valid connection, is
connected to an incorrect contact.
As shown in this example, the miswire error is indicated as a contact OPEN to where it
should
go, and MISWIRE to where it does go.
Miswires are caused by:

Wiring errors in the cable.
