3. OPERATION
3.1.
Lift the vehicle's towing socket cover and insert the tester's plug into the socket, take care
to line up with the socket before insertion. Twist the outer plug ring clockwise to lock plug
into place.
3.2.
If the socket is wired for continuous 12V supply, the 12V CONTINUOUS LED should
illuminate immediately - note this is not a condition of the MOT Test.
3.3.
Sit in the vehicle with the tester unit. Press 'Test' to ensure that the tester's control
circuitry and the LED's are in working order.
3.4.
Turn the vehicle's ignition switch to the 'ON' position, but DO NOT start the vehicle's
engine. The 12V IGNITION LED should illuminate.
3.5.
Required MOT Test checks.
Operate in turn:
- the Left and Right Hand Indicators
- the Side Lights
- the Fog Lights
- Depress the vehicle's foot brake pedal.
In each case, check to ensure the appropriate LED illuminates on the tester.
3.6.
In addition to the above MOT required checks, also select reverse gear, and check
that the LED illuminates.
3.7.
When all checks are completed, remove the tester from the vehicle's towing socket,
twisting the plug ring anti-clockwise and ease the plug assembly out of the socket.
Replace the towing socket cover.
NOTE:
When testing vehicles that include a tow-bar electrics self test facility, all of the tester's
LED's apart from the 12V feed, may flicker. This is a function of the vehicle's self test and is normal.
However, when testing the vehicle, the LEDs will light fully if and when voltage is being applied to each of the 13-pins on the socket, so therefore
the tester can be used as normal.
NOTE: The self-test facility is not available when using the 13-7 pin towing adaptor, because there is no continuous feed via the 7 pin socket,
from the vehicle.
