Component Test Operations
The Component Test software is a component-testing powerhouse, providing you with a robust
diagnostic database for use with scopes and meters. It is like having access to a complete library
of shop manuals for testing engine-management components, transmission sensors and
components, and ABS systems.
Component Test helps you with everything from selecting the appropriate test for a specific
component to showing the hook-up location and correct pin configuration. This software
thoroughly guides and instructs you on proper testing procedures and offers tips from the internal
troubleshooter database. The component test procedures, tips, and meter settings reduce your
overall set-up and diagnostic testing time. Vehicle-specific component tests are provided for
engine, transmission, ABS, charging, transfer case and suspension systems.

connected to MAINS or MAINS circuits (an example of a MAINS circuit is 120V AC or
240V AC household or industrial electricity), do not connect this product to MAINS or

Maximum rated transient over voltage impulse is 500 volts, do not exceed the rated
transient over voltage.
Electrical shock can cause personal injury, equipment damage, or circuit damage.
7.1 Vehicle Identification
The component test information presented is specific to the vehicle being tested. Therefore,
certain attributes of the test vehicle must be entered into the VERDICT unit so that the correct data
can be retrieved. Vehicle identification information is carried over if you enter the Component Test
module either from the SCAN MODULE or from one of the records stored in the Vehicle History
module. However, you may need to enter additional attributes in some instances.
The vehicle identification sequence is menu driven, you simply follow the screen prompts and
make a series of choices. Each selection you make advances you to the next screen.
7.1.1 Creating a Favorites List
Once a Component Test database is loaded, a list of manufacturers displays. This list is often long
and includes makes that are not frequently used. A toolbar at the top of the screen allows you to
custom configure the manufacturer list to display only the makes you frequently service.
