and assistance with reading trouble codes, erasing
trouble codes, and other DRBIII functions.
3.7.1 DRBIII ERROR MESSAGES AND
BLANK SCREEN
Under normal operation, the DRBIII will dis-
play one of only two error messages:
•
User-Requested WARM Boot
•
User-Requested COLD Boot
This is a sample of such an error message display:

User-Requested COLD Boot
Press MORE to switch between this display
and the application screen.
Press F4 when done noting information.
If the DRBIII
should display any other error
message, record the entire display and call the
STAR Center for information and assistance.
3.7.2
DRBIII DOES NOT POWER UP
If the LED's do not light or no sound is emitted at
start up, check for loose cable connections or a bad
cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage (data link
connector cavity 16). A minimum of 11 volts is
required to adequately power the DRBIII .
If all connections are proper between the
DRBIII and the vehicle or other devices, and the
vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative
DRBIII may be the result of faulty cable or vehicle
wiring.
3.7.3
DISPLAY IS NOT VISIBLE
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the
display. Adjust the contrast to compensate for this
condition.

wheels.
When servicing a vehicle, always wear eye pro-

watchbands or bracelets that might make an inad-
vertent electrical contact.
When diagnosing a body system problem, it is
important to follow approved procedures where
applicable. These procedures can be found in the
service manual. Following these procedures is very
important to the safety of individuals performing
diagnostic tests.
