Chapter 3: System Test EXP-1003 HD
Additional Test Requirements
For a more decisive result the analyzer may ask for additional
information or further explore the battery’s condition.
System Noise Detected
The analyzer has detected computer, ignition noise, or
parasitic drain, and will attempt to retest. Make sure all vehicle
loads are off, doors are closed, and the ignition is in the off
position. The analyzer will automatically retest when it no
longer detects system noise. If the message reappears:
• You may be testing too close to a noise source, such as
a charger or other high-current device. If so, move away
and retest.
• If you are unable to find the source of the noise, fully
charge the battery and retest. If the message appears after
recharging, test the battery out of the vehicle.
•
Disconnect the battery cables and retest.
If you are using the Amp Clamp, keep it clamped around the
negative (–) battery cable.
Unstable Battery Detected
A battery that is weak, or that has just been charged, may
retain enough electrical activity to be detected by the analyzer
and will adversely affect the test results. A fully charged
battery should stabilize quickly, after which the analyzer
will automatically retest. Weak batteries should be charged
and retested. If the battery is fully charged, check the clamp
connections.
Starter System Test
1. Following a successful Battery Test, press NEXT to contin-
ue to the Starter System Test.
NOTE: When testing a battery pack, connect the
test cables across all the batteries in the pack.
2. Start the engine at the prompt.
NOTE: If the tester does not detect vehicle start,
STARTED and NO START options are displayed.
Select STARTED to skip to the Charging System
Test. Select NO START to end the test.
Starter System Test Results
The tester displays a decision on the starter system with the
complete results in a series of screens. Use  or  to scroll to
each screen. To send the results to the IR printer, press PRINT.
To continue testing, press NEXT.

Decision Recommended Action
CRANKING
NORMAL
The starter voltage is normal and the
battery is fully charged.
LOW VOLTAGE The starter voltage is low and the battery is
fully charged.
CHARGE
BATTERY
The starter voltage is low and the battery
is discharged. Fully charge the battery and
repeat the starter system test.
REPLACE
BATTERY
The battery must be replaced before testing
the starter.
LOW
CRANKING
AMPS
The cranking voltage is high, but the
cranking amps are low.
NO START The engine did not start and the test was
aborted.
CRANKING
SKIPPED
The tester did not detect the vehicle’s
starting profile and skipped the Starter Test.
