2.2 Powering the Diagnostic Tool
Your diagnostic tool can receive power from any of the following sources:
• Vehicle Power
• Internal Battery Pack
• AC Power Supply
2.2.1 Vehicle Power
The diagnostic tool is designed to be powered from the vehicle. Most motorcycles
have vehicle battery power (B+) available on the motorcycle diagnostic connector.
The diagnostic tool is powered through the Data Cable when connected to the
motorcycle diagnostic connector.
A green LED indicator on the motorcycle diagnostic connector end of the data
cable, illuminates when power is being supplied to the cable. If the LED fails to
illuminate, check that the data cable is properly connected and then check the
motorcycle diagnostic connector power circuit. See Data Cable Connection on
page 13 for additional data cable information.
Use the supplied power accessory cable when testing models that do not have
battery power (B+) available on the motorcycle diagnostic connector.
Never connect the power accessory cable when the diagnostic tool is
communicating with a vehicle.
2.2.2 Internal Battery Pack
The diagnostic tool can be powered from the internal rechargeable battery pack. A
fully charged battery pack provides sufficient power for about 3 hours of continuous
operation. For battery pack removal and installation instructions see, Removing /
Installing the Battery Pack on page 58.
Battery Pack Charging
Battery charging occurs whenever the data cable is connected to a motorcycle
diagnostic connector. Battery charging also occurs when the AC power supply is
connected to a live AC power source, and connected to the diagnostic tool. Use the
supplied AC power supply to charge the battery pack.
Insert the end of the AC power supply cable into the diagnostic too power supply
jack, then connect the AC power supply to an approved AC power source.
Only use the supplied AC power supply. Never connect the power supply
to the diagnostic tool when the tool is communicating with a vehicle.
