7.2.1.4 Connections
Launch-specifi c
diagnostic tool
Battery tester
Vehicle battery
1. Connect one end of the data cable to the Data I/O port of the battery
tester and the other end to the data I/O port of the diagnostic tool.
2. Before testing,
connect one end of the battery clamps cable to the
battery tester and the other end to vehicle’s battery.
First: RED
to
Positive (
+) and then
BLACK
to Negative (-).
Notes:
1. Wait about 10s and begin to communicate since the battery
tester needs to initialize after connection is complete, otherwise,
communication may fail.
2. Do not perform any test until the clips and data cable are properly
connected.
To get more accurate test results, the clips must be
connected to the positive and nagative poles, NOT on the screws.
3. Pay more attention to connect the clip. The battery poles connect with
conductor, which makes the clip has a poor connection when testing
battery. A tolerance of dozens of CCA may occur if the clip is out of
position, or oil, dust attaches on the pole. The gear and main body of
clip should be fully matched with battery poles.
4.
After test, plese remove the BLACK clip first and
then the RED one.
