Trouble Diagnosis with Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester (Battery)NKS002UO
CAUTION:
When working with batteries, always wear appropriate eye protection.
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and alternator test segments must be
done as a set from start to finish.
If battery surface charge is detected while testing, the tester will prompt you to turn on the headlamps to
remove the surface charge.
If necessary, the tester will prompt you to determine if the battery temperature is above or below 0 °C (32
° F). Choose the appropriate selection by pressing the up or down arrow button, then press “ENTER” to
make the selection.
1. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system. Clean or repair as necessary.
2. Visually inspect the battery, battery terminals and cable ends with ignition switch in “OFF” position.
NOTE:
The contact surface between the battery terminals, cable ends
and tester leads must be clean for a valid test. A poor connec-
tion will prevent testing and a “CHECK CONNECTION” mes-
sage will appear during the test procedures. If this occurs, clean
the battery terminals, reconnect them and restart the test.
3. Connect the red tester lead clamp to the positive battery termi- nal, and the black to the negative terminal.
4. The tester will turn on automatically. Using the arrow keys, select “IN-VEHICLE” on the tester and then press the “ENTER”
key.
5. Locate the battery type and rating stamped or written on the
top case of the battery to be tested.
NOTE:
The battery rating will have either of the following.
CCA: Cold Cranking Amps (490 CCA, 550 CCA, etc.)
JIS: Japanese Industrial Standard.
When using the battery tester: Use the CCA rating only.
The tester requires the CCA rating for the battery be entered
exactly as it is written or stamped on the battery.
U.S. market : Refer to the latest “Battery Testing” Technical
Service Bulletin (TSB) for a chart which contains these ratings
listed by vehicle.
You must not use the JIS rating.
6. Using the arrow and “ENTER” keys alternately, select the battery type and rating. NOTE:
The tester lists five choices; CCA, JIS, IEC, DIN, and EN. Use only the CCA choice .
