3.1.4. Charging System And Ripple Test When entering the charging test, please select "charging test" and press enter. Step on the accelerator, turn the engine speed to more than 2500rpm, and click the “ENTER” key of the instrument to start the charging test. Test result: if the charging voltage reading is greater than 15.5V, please check the voltage regulator.

Note: Do not shut down the engine during the test. All electrical appliances and equipment are turned off. Switching on/off any electrical appliance in the vehicle during the test will affect the accuracy of the test results. The tester will perform the following tests in sequence: For ripple test, the tester will display real-time ripple, and display ripple voltage and charging voltage value at the bottom line.
Charging test results: 1. Charging voltage: normal The charging system shows that the generator output is normal and no problem is detected. 2. Charging voltage: low The charging voltage of the charging system is low. Check whether the generator drive belt slips or deviates. Check whether the connection between the generator and the battery is normal.
