ACTIVATING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
WITH POSITIVE (+) VOLTAGE
Warning: Improper use and application of voltage to certain circuits
can cause damage to a vehicle’s electronic components. Therefore,
it is strongly advised to use the correct schematic and diagnosing
procedure while testing.
To activate components with positive (+) voltage:
Contact the probe tip to the positive terminal of the component. The
LED indicator should light GREEN.
While keeping an eye on the green indicator, quickly depress and
release the power switch forward (+). If the green indicator changed
instantly from GREEN to RED you may proceed with further activation.
If the green indicator went off at that instant or if the circuit breaker
tripped, the Power Probe has been overloaded. This could happen for
the following reasons:
• The contact is a direct ground.
• The component is short-circuited.
• The component is a high current component (i.e., starter motor).
If the circuit breaker tripped, it’ll automatically reset.
