Deep Scan Test
In some cases the GR8 may need to further analyze a deeply
discharged battery to determine whether the battery should
be replaced, or if it can possibly be recovered. It will then
conduct a Deep Scan Test of the battery for a few seconds while
displaying a battery undergoing a scan. If any messages appear
during the test, refer to Chapter 10: Test Messages on page 45.
The GR8 may recommend charging before it displays
the test results. Select YES to begin Diagnostic Charge
Mode or NO to return to the results. (See “Diagnostic
Charging” on page 33.)
