Scan Tool Testing and Procedures

THE MICRO 570 ANALYZER
The MICRO 570 Analyzer provides the ability to test the charging and starting systems, including the battery, starter and generator.

CAUTION: Because of the possibility of personal injury, always use extreme caution and appropriate eye protection when working with batteries.




KEY PAD
The MICRO 570 button on the key pad provides the given functions :

BATTERY TEST PROCEDURE




1. Connect the tester to the battery.
- Red clamp to battery positive (+) terminal.
- Black clamp to battery negative (-) terminal.

CAUTION: Connect clamps securely. If "CHECK CONNECTION" message is displayed on the screen, reconnect clamps securely.




2. The tester will ask if the battery is connected "IN A VEHICLE" or "OUT OF A VEHICLE". Make your selection by pressing the arrow buttons; then press ENTER.




3. Choose either CCA or CCP and press the ENTER button.

NOTE:
- CCA : Cold cranking amps, is an SAE specification for cranking batteries at -18 °C (0 °F).
- CCP : Cold cranking amps, is an SAE specification for korean manufacturer's for cranking batteries at -18 °C (0 °F).




4. Set the CCA value displayed on the screen to the CCA value marked on the battery label by pressing up and down buttons and press ENTER.

NOTE: The battery ratings(CCA) displayed on the tester must be identical to the ratings marked on battery label.

Battery Test Results:

5. The tester (Micro 570) displays battery test results including voltage and battery ratings.
A relevant action must be given according to the test results by referring to the battery test results as shown in the table.

WARNING: Whenever filing a claim for battery, the print out of the battery test results must be attached.

NOTE: The battery ratings (CCA) displayed on the tester must be identical to the ratings marked on battery label.

6. To conduct starter test, press ENTER

STARTER TEST PROCEDURE




1. After the battery test, press ENTER immediately for the starter test.




2. After pressing ENTER key, start the engine.




3. 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.

Starter Test Results:

4. To continue charging system test, press ENTER.

CHARGING SYSTEM TEST PROCEDURE




1. Press ENTER to begin charging system test.




2. ENTER button is pressed, the tester displays the actual voltage of generator.
Press ENTER to test the charging system.




3. The MICRO 570 will prompt you to rev the engine until the rev is detected. It will then collect the data.




4. Press ENTER.




5. The MICRO 570 will analyze the charging system output at idle for comparison to other readings.




6. The MICRO 570 will detect the amount of ripple from the charging system to the battery. Excessive ripple usually means the stator is damaged or that one or more generator diodes have failed.




7. The MICRO 570 will prompt you to turn on accessary loads. It will then test at idle and prompt you to rev the engine. The analyzer will determine if the charging system can provide enough current for the demands of the vehicle's electrical system.

NOTE: When asked to turn on the accessory loads, turn on the blower to high (heater), the high beam headlights, and rear defogger. DO NOT use cyclical loads such as air conditioning or windshield wipers.

Charging System Test Results:

8. After the test, the MICRO 570 will display the idle voltage, load voltage and the state results.
