Using the DRB III

USING THE DRBIII
Refer to the DRBIII user's guide for instructions and assistance with reading trouble codes, erasing trouble codes, and other DRBIII functions.

DRBIII ERROR MESSAGES
Under normal operation, the DRBIII will display one of only two error messages:
- User-Requested WARM Boot
- User-Requested COLD Boot

If the DRBIII should display any other error message, record the entire display and call the S.T.A.R. Center. This is a sample of such an error message display:





DRBIII DOES NOT POWER UP (BLANK SCREEN)
If the LED's do not light or no sound is emitted at start up, check for loose cable connections or a bad cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage. A minimum of 11 volts is required to adequately power the DRBIII

If all connections are proper between the DRBIII and the vehicle or other devices, and the vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative DRBIII may be the result of faulty cable or vehicle wiring. For a blank screen, refer to the appropriate Body Diagnostic information.

DRBIII DISPLAY IS NOT VISIBLE





Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the display. Adjust the contrast to compensate for this condition.
