4.2.1 Power User Tests
Power User Tests
provide you quick access to preconfigured meter tests for a
number of common automotive system tests. Most tests provide onscreen help and
testing information along with a description of the test and the expected results,
including known good waveforms.
Here is a sample listing of the types and specific tests that may be available within
Power User Tests:
•
Current Probe Tests - provides common tests configured to use the Snap-on Low
Amp Current probes or generic Low Amp Current probes. Snap-on Low Amp
Current Probe operation information is also provided within the
Snap-on Low
Amp Probe Reference Manual
option.
• Fuel Injector Current Ramp (multiple types)
• Fuel Pump Current Ramp
• Fuel Pump RPM Calculation
• Ignition Coil Current Ramp (multiple types)
• Parasitic Draw
• Snap-on Low Amp Probe Reference Manual
•
Dual Channel Tests - provides common tests configured to measure or compare
two signals
• CAN-BUS High/Low
• CKP and CMP Relationship
• EGR Solenoid and Position Sensor
• EVAP Solenoid and Diagnostic Switch
• FlexRay Bus
• Injector and Oxygen Sensor
• Knock Sensor and EST
• MC Dwell and Oxygen Sensor
• Pre and Post Cat Oxygen Sensors
• Throttle Positions 1 & 2
• WSS (Hall Effect Type)
•
Transducer Tests - provides common single and dual channel tests configured to
measure various types of pressures, voltage and current. Transducers are
available as optional equipment.
• A/T Line Pressure and Shift Solenoid
• A/T Line Pressure Test
• EGR Temperature Sensor and EGR Vacuum
• Exhaust Back Pressure Test
• Fuel Pressure and Fuel Pump Current
• Fuel Pressure and Fuel Pump Voltage
