    Vehicle Super Probe There is also another way to prove continuity of connections to ground or battery. Power up the connection using the power switch. If the circuit breaker trips you know that you have a good solid low resistance connection. Note: You can use the probe tip to pierce the plastic insulation on a wire.

    Vehicle Super Probe to your component. With the power switch rocked forward, power will flow from the positive lead on the battery into the probe tip, through the tip into the component’s positive terminal, into the component and out of the component, through the auxiliary ground lead and back into the tool, and back to the vehicle’s battery’s ground.

    Vehicle Super Probe activation. (Figure 12) If the green LED went off at that instant or if the circuit breaker tripped, the tool has been overloaded. This could happen for the following reasons: (1) The contact you are probing is a direct ground. (2) The component you are testing is short-circuited.

    Vehicle Super Probe Figure 13 3.7 Activating Components W/Ground While the tool in DC Voltage mode, contact the probe tip to the negative terminal of the component, the red LED should light. While observing the red LED, quickly depress and release the power switch rearward. If the red LED went out and the green LED came on, you may proceed with further activation.

    Vehicle Super Probe electrical protection device tripping (i.e., a circuit breaker). This is the best place to begin the search. Remove the blow fuse from the fuse box. Use the probe tip to activate and energize each of the fuse contacts.The contact which trips the circuit breaker is the shorted circuit.
  • Page 17 Vehicle Super Probe conducting full battery current to the tip of the probe. There is a nice safety feature built into the tool. Simply connect the extra ground lead to the tool and press the power switch forward until it trips the circuit breaker. This will prevent power from going to the tip but still allow you to use the tool as a multimeter.
