BATTERY TEST RESULTS
| RESULT ON PRINTER | REMEDY |
|---|
| Good battery | No action is required |
| Good recharge | Battery is in a good state |
| Recharge the battery and use |
| Charge & Retest | Battery is not charged properly |
| => Charge and test the battery again (Failure to charge the battery fully may read incorrect measurement value) |
| Replace battery | => Replace battery and recheck the charging system. (Improper connection between battery and vehicle cables may cause "REPLACE BATTERY", retest the battery after removing cables and connecting the tester to the battery terminal directly prior to replacing the battery) |
| Bad cell-replace | => Charge and retest the battery. And then, test results may cause "REPLACE BATTERY", replace battery and recheck the charging system |
| WARNING | Whenever filing a claim for battery, the print out of the battery test results must be attached. |

- After the battery test, press ENTER immediately for the starter test.
- After pressing ENTER key, start the engine.
- Cranking voltage and starter test results will be displayed on the screen. Take a relevant action according to the test results by referring to the starter test results as given below.
- To continue charging system test, press ENTER.
STARTER TEST RESULTS
| RESULT ON PRINTER | REMEDY |
|---|
| Cranking voltage normal | System shows a normal starter draw |
| Cranking voltage low | Cranking voltage is lower than normal level |
| => Check starter |
| Charge battery | The state of battery charge is too low to test |
| => Charge the battery and retest |
| Replace battery | => Replace battery |
| => If the vehicle is not started though the battery condition of "Good and fully charged" is displayed. |
| => Check wiring for open circuit, battery cable connection, starter and repair or replace as necessary. |
| => If the engine does crank, check fuel system. |

- Press ENTER to begin charging system test.
- ENTER button is pressed, the tester displays the actual voltage of alternator. Press ENTER to test the charging system.
- Turn off all electrical load and rev engine for 5 seconds by pressing the accelerator pedal.
- Press ENTER.
- The MICRO 570 analyzer charging system output at idle for comparison to other readings.
- Take a relevant action according to the test results by referring to the table below after shutting off the engine and disconnect the tester clamps from the battery.

CHARGING SYSTEM TEST RESULTS
| RESULT ON PRINTER | REMEDY |
|---|
| Charging system normal/Diode ripple normal | Charging system is normal |
| No charging voltage | Alternator does not supply charging current to battery |
| => Check belts, connection between alternator and battery Replace belts or cable or alternator as necessary |
| Low charging voltage | Alternator does not supply charging current to battery and electrical load to system fully |
| => Check belts and alternator and replace as necessary |
| High charging voltage | The voltage from alternator to battery is higher than normal limit during voltage regulating. |
| => Check connection and ground and replace regulator as necessary |
| => Check electrolyte level in the battery |
| Excess ripple detected | One or more diodes in the alternator is not functioning properly |
| => Check alternator mounting and belts and replace as necessary |
