    markings. Press the Power Switch forward to activate the tip with a positive voltage. The Red LED should light up and LCD display will read the battery voltage. A beep tone will sound. Let go of the power switch and the LED will turn off and the tone will cease. Press the Power Switch backward to activate the tip with a negative voltage.

    1.2K Figure 4 Diode In this mode, the probe tip contact the positive terminal of the diode, connect the auxiliary ground lead to the negative terminal of the diode, the screen will display the forward voltage drop, indicates the forward bias. If switch the probe tip and auxiliary ground lead, the screen will not display the voltage, indicates the reverse bias.

    3.2 Continuity Testing While the tool is in Resistance mode, using the probe tip with chass is ground or the auxiliary ground lead, continuity can be tested on wires and components attached or disconnected from the vehide's electrical system. When the probe tip is contacting a good ground, the LCD will indicate “0.0 ” and green LED will be on.

    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 have a good solid low resistance connection. Note: You can use the probe tip to pierce the plastic insulation on a wire. This means that you can test the circuit without disconnecting anything.

    provide power to your component. With the power switch pushed forward, power will flow from the positive lead on the battery to the probe tip, then to the compo- nent’s positive terminal, through the component, through the auxiliary ground lead, then back to the tool, and all the way back to the vehicle’s battery’s ground.

    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 (3) The component is a very high current component (i.e., starter motor).

    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 up. While observing the red LED, quickly press the power switch backward and release the button If the red LED went out and the green LED came on, you may proceed with further activation.

    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. Take note of this wire's identification code or color.
