X-431 GDS Batterybox Manual 

3. Connections & Operations

3.1 Connection 

Connect one end of the A/B cable to the B type USB terminal of the batterybox, 
and then connect the other end to the USB port of GDS main unit. This 
connection applies to outside the vehicle test and inside the vehicle. 

Notes: 

1.  Wait about 10s and begin to communicate since the batterybox needs to

initialize after connection is complete, otherwise, communication may fail.

2. Red lamp on the batterybox means it has been successfully powered up; If

the green light is always on, it indicates the clip is well connected; while the
green light blinks, it indicates that the clip has poor contact. Do not perform
any test until the clip and A/B cable are properly connected.

3.2 Inside the vehicle test 

Battery test and charging system & actuation system test can be done in this 
mode. 

3.2.1 Battery test 

1. Enter battery test main menu, and select a desired test environment as

shown in Fig. 3-1.
