Testing Out-of-Vehicle (Battery Test)
The preferred battery test location is in the vehicle. However, if
you plan to test out of the vehicle:
•
Always disconnect the negative cable from the battery
first and reconnect it last.
•
Always use a carry tool or strap to lift and transport the
battery.
Failure to properly install lead terminal adapters,
or using adapters that are dirty or worn, may
cause false test results.
When testing side-post or Group 31 batteries, always use lead
terminal adapters provided with the tester—do not test at
the battery’s steel bolts. To avoid damage, never use a wrench
to tighten the adapters more than ¼ turn.
Testing the Battery Pack
1. At the start of the test, make sure all vehicle accessory
loads are off, the key is not in the ignition, and the doors
are closed.
2. Connect the clamps to the positive (+) and negative (–) ca-
bles that lead to the starter and chassis ground as shown.
If there are multiple cables, re-test for each cable connec-
tion.
3. For a proper connection, rock the clamps back and forth.
Both sides of each clamp must be firmly connected be-
fore testing. If the message CHECK CONNECTION appears,
clean the terminals and/or reconnect the clamps.
