FAQ:
Q: Where can I find the probe tip?
A: We keep the probe above the back of the device. (Warm note: Be more careful when operating because of the sharp probe tip.)
Q: Why can not the probe tip itself stay engaged? It keeps falling out.
A: You need to push it a little harder until you hear a "CLICK" sound, then it will stay engaged.
What are the advantages of the product?
Resistance Test: While the tool in this mode, contact the probe tip to a circuit, then the LCD display will read the resistance between the tip and auxiliary ground lead.
Diode Test: 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 exchange the probe tip and auxiliary ground lead, the screen will not display the voltage, indicates the reverse bias.
Signal Circuit Testing: Once you extract a DTC from the vehicle and realize that troubleshooting begins with some kind of sensor circuit, there is a quick test you can perform to verify the code. Testing your sensor is easy while using the tool.
Testing Trailer Lights and Connections: While the tool in DC Voltage mode, clip the auxiliary ground lead to the trailer ground , probe the contacts at the jack and then apply voltage to the probe tip. This lets you check the function and orientation of the connector and trailer lights.
Red/Green Polarity LED: The Red/Green Polarity LED lights up when the probe tip voltage matches the battery voltage within ±0.4 volts. It is added information that could be valuable to the technician.
Auto Circuit Breaker: The tool is short-circuit protected. Its internal circuit breaker will trip if it becomes overload. The circuit breaker is a valuable test tool as well as a safety measure to protect the tool from overload.
Can do more than a multimeterSimply select the diagnostic mode by pressing the mode button, then touch the probe tip to a circuit. The LCD will display the DC /AV voltage, resistance. It helps find the cause to the problem quicker than using a multimeter. | Short-circuit locator, ground-fault checker.KM10 tracks and locates shorts without having to move panels, trim or carpet to expose wires.
