The MUTT will power the selected electrical circuits and instantly alert you to any signs of a faulty condition.

  • Page 16: Ground Integrity Test

    7.2 GROUND INTEGRITY TEST Each time the MUTT is powered on, it automatically runs a Ground Integrity Test. A good ground connection must be established for the MUTT to operate a trailer’s electrical system. 1. Immediately after power up, the green lights around the control knob will illuminate. 2.

  • Page 17: Fault Indication

    7.3 FAULT INDICATION OPEN CIRCUIT The MUTT senses no load which is often the symptom of a disconnected wire, cut wire, poor pin connection or bad return ground. The MUTT can detect open circuits in two ways. 1. During Ground Integrity Test: An individual circuit will blink and no audible alerts will be present.

  • Page 18: Short/Overloaded Circuit

    NOTE: In some cases, a crossed circuit may be a normal function of advanced diagnostic testing, such as with certain ABS systems. SHORT/OVERLOADED CIRCUIT Short circuits or overloads can occur when a positive, hot wire touches ground. They can also occur due to faulty lights or connectors. 1.
