As mentioned in the conguration section above there is no
appearance in this manual requesting the vehicle ID, technician
ID etc. There are also no prompts to inspect components of the system. See
the conguration section above for a better understanding if these items are
required in your training. The PM Test should only be used during a time when
the vehicle is in the shop for a PM service, NOT when the vehicle is having
electrical system issues. For a vehicle with a suspected electrical problem use
the individual tests starting with the batteries, then the cables, and nally the
alternator or starter.
The PM Test prompts for the number of batteries in the system; if the number of
batteries is set to 1 then the PM Test will be geared towards automotive, if the
number of batteries is set to 2 or more then the PM Test will be geared towards HD.
Follow the prompts to complete the PM Test. If the PM Test detects a problem
use the individual tests to verify the issue. When using the individual tests always
start by testing the batteries and do not continue on until the vehicle has a battery
or battery bank that is good and fully charged. Once it has been veried that the
battery or battery bank is good and fully charged then continue by testing the
cables. Once the cables have been tested and repaired or replaced, then nally
test the alternator or starter.

NOTE: When selecting PM Test, the BVA2100 will automatically run the battery
test rst to make sure the battery bank passes. Therefore, you need only use the
battery bank test for testing the battery bank specically.
From the main menu select
