3.5.1 DRBIIIT DOES NOT POWER UP
(BLANK SCREEN)
If the LED’s do not light or no sound is emitted at
start up, check for loose cable connections or a bad
cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage (data link
16-way connector cavity 16). A minimum of 11 volts
is required to adequately power the DRBIIIt. Also
check for a good ground at the DLC.
If all connections are proper between the
DRBIIIt and the vehicle or other devices, and the
vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative
DRBIIIt may be the result of faulty cable or vehicle
wiring.
3.5.2 DISPLAY IS NOT VISIBLE
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the
display. Adjust the contrast to compensate for this
condition.

All information, illustrations, and specifications
contained in this manual are based on the latest
information available at the time of publication.
The right is reserved to make changes at any time
without notice.
4.2 SAFETY
4.2.1 TECHNICIAN SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: ENGINES PRODUCE CARBON
MONOXIDE THAT IS ODORLESS, CAUSES
SLOWER REACTION TIME, AND CAN LEAD
TO SERIOUS INJURY. WHEN THE ENGINE IS
OPERATING, KEEP SERVICE AREAS WELL
VENTILATED, OR ATTACH THE VEHICLE
EXHAUST SYSTEM TO THE SHOP EXHAUST
REMOVAL SYSTEM.
Set the parking brake and block the wheels before
testing or repairing the vehicle. It is especially
important to block the wheels on the vehicle; the
parking brake does not hold the front drive wheels.
When servicing a vehicle, always wear eye pro-
tection, and remove any metal jewelry such as
watchbands or bracelets that might make an inad-
vertent electrical contact.
When diagnosing an antilock brake or speed
proportional steering system problem, it is impor-
tant to follow approved procedures where applica-
ble. These procedures can be found in the service
manual. Following these procedures is very impor-
tant to safety of individuals performing diagnostic
tests.
4.2.2 VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR
TESTING
Make sure the vehicle being tested has a fully
charged battery. If it does not, false diagnostic codes
or error messages may occur.
4.2.3 SERVICING SUB—ASSEMBLIES
Some components of the antilock brake or speed
proportional steering system are intended to be
serviced in assembly only. Attempting to remove or
repair certain sub-components may result in per-
sonal injury and/or improper system operation.
Only those components with approved repair and
installation procedures in the service manual
should be serviced.
