* Ohms cannot be measured if voltage is present.
Ohms can be measured only in a non-powered
circuit.
•
Voltage between any terminal and ground must
not exceed 500v DC or 500v peak AC.
• Use caution when measuring voltage above 25v
DC or 25v AC.
• The circuit being tested must be protected by a
10A fuse or circuit breaker.
• Use the low current shunt to measure circuits up
to 10A. Use the high current clamp to measure
circuits exceeding 10A.
•
When testing for the presence of voltage or cur-
rent, make sure the meter is functioning cor-
rectly. Take a reading of a known voltage or
current before accepting a zero reading.
• When measuring current, connect the meter in
series with the load.
• Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting
the common test lead.
• When using the meter function, keep the
DRBIII away from spark plug or coil wires to
avoid measuring error from outside interference.
4.3 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
4.3.1 ROAD TEST WARNINGS
Some complaints will require a test drive as part
of the repair verification procedure. The purpose of
the test drive is to try to duplicate the diagnostic
code or symptom condition.
INPUT LIMIT
0 - 500 peak volts AC
0 - 500 volts DC
0 - 1.12 megohms
0 - 10 kHz
-58 - 1100°F
-50 - 600°C
CAUTION: Before road testing a vehicle, be
sure that all components are reassembled.
During the test drive, do not try to read the
DRBIII screen while in motion. Do not hang
the DRBIII from the rear view mirror or
operate it yourself.
available to operate the DRBIII .
4.3.2 VEHICLE DAMAGE CAUTIONS
Before disconnecting any control module, make
sure the ignition is off. Failure to do so could
damage the module.
When testing voltage or continuity at any control
module, use the terminal side (not the wire end) of
the connector. Do not probe a wire through the
insulation; this will damage it and eventually cause
it to fail because of corrosion.
Be careful when performing electrical tests so as
to prevent accidental shorting of terminals. Such
mistakes can damage fuses or components. Also, a
second DTC could be set, making diagnosis of the
original problem more difficult.
