4. Test Applications
4.1 Continuity Test
A continuity test is a quick check to see if a circuit is open or closed. Only a closed, complete circuit has continuity. During
a continuity test, a digital multimeter sends a small current through the circuit to measure resistance in the circuit.
When the device is in the “Multimeter”, select the resistance test function, use the probe tip with chassis ground of the
vehicle or auxiliary ground lead, continuity can be tested on wires and components attached or disconnected from the
vehicles electrical system.
When the Probe is contacting a good ground, the LCD screen will display “0.0Ω” and the green LED indicator will also light
up. If the sound enabled from setting, the buzzer will beep at the same time.

• In other cases, the LCD screen will only display the resistance value.
If the resistance is greater than 200 KΩ, the LCD screen will display “0L”. There is another way to verify the continuity of
the connection to the ground or battery: while in Component Activation mode, you can supply power to the electrical
system, if the circuit breaker trips, it means that this connections is a good connection with low resistance.
NOTE:
Do not perform any tests on any ECU module, SRS(airbag) system before the system is completely disabled or unplugged;
You can use the probe tip to pierce the plastic insulation on a wire to run test.

4.2 Signal Circuit Test (Oscilloscope Test)
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 this tool.
For example, you suspect there is a problem with your M.A.P. sensor circuit, then follow the procedure below to test this
sensor:
(1) Enter into Oscilloscope mode, use the probe tip with chassis ground or auxiliary ground lead.
(2) Connect vacuum pump to M.A.P. sensor.
(3) Touch the probe tip to the positive terminal of the M.A.P. sensor and observe the LCD screen. Generally it should be a
Sine Waveform in good condition.
(4) Apply vacuum pump. Release vacuum pump and observe the reading on the LCD screen.

4.3 Activating Components in Your Hand
While the circuit probe is in DC voltage mode, by using the probe tip in connection with the auxiliary ground lead, compo-
nents can be activated right in your hand, thereby testing their functions.
For example: test a bulb’s working condition.
(1) Hook up the battery clip to power supply.
(2) Enter into Active, select MOMENT mode function.
(3) Connect the auxiliary ground lead to the negative terminal of the component being tested, connect the probe tip to the
positive terminal of the component, press “up” button to trigger activation test.
(4) The LCD screen will display the value of VDC, AMP, and VCC.

background
If the probe circuit breaker tripped, it means the probe is overloaded. This could happen for the following reasons:
• The contact you are probing is direct ground or negative voltage.
• The component you are testing is short-circuited.
• The component is a very high current component (i.e., starter motor).
4.4 Activating Components in Vehicle
Importance:
• The activation mode is only designed for supply powers or ground, and cannot be used for any sensitive electronics equip-
ment (such as ECU, sensor module), otherwise there is a risk of burning out components.
• Do not perform any tests on any ECU module, SRS(airbag) system before the system is completely disabled or unplugged.
• Supply power to electrical system will cause damage to the vehicle’s sensitive electronic components, so we strongly
recommend that you refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s schematic diagram and diagnostic process.
Test Procedure:
(1) Hook up the battery clip to power supply.
(2) Enter into Active, select MOMENT mode function.
(3) Connect the auxiliary ground lead to the negative terminal of the component being tested, connect the probe tip to the
positive terminal of the component, press “UP” button to trigger activation test.
(4) The LCD screen will display the value of VDC, AMP, and VCC.
21
background
22
If the probe restart for the circuit breaker tripped or the displayed message OVERLOADED on LCD screen, you can adjust
the overload current value and repeat the above operation to further activation.
NOTE:
To avoid burning out the component, please refer to the specification and parameter of component and then set the OVER-
LOAD CURRENT VALUE.
If the probe circuit breaker tripped, it means the probe is overloaded. This could happen for the following reasons:
• The contact you are probing is direct ground or negative voltage.
• The component you are testing is short-circuited.

• The component is a very high current component (i.e., starter motor).
4.5 Activating Components w/Ground
Test Procedure:
(1) Hook up the battery clip to power supply.
(2) Enter into Active, select MOMENT mode function.
(3) Connect the auxiliary ground lead to the negative terminal of the component being tested.
(4) Connect the probe tip to the positive terminal of the component, press “DOWN” button to trigger activation test.
(5) The LCD screen will display the value of VDC, AMP, and VCC.
background
24
NOTE:
To avoid burning out the component, please refer to the specification and parameter of component and then set the OVER-
LOAD CURRENT VALUE.
If the probe circuit breaker tripped, it means the probe is overloaded. This could happen for the following reasons:
• The contact you are probing is direct ground or negative voltage.
• The component you are testing is short-circuited.
• The component is a very high current component (i.e., starter motor).
If you are contacting a protected circuit, the vehicle fuse can be burn-out or probe tripped if you apply ground to it.
4.6 Checking for Bad Ground Contacts
Probe the suspected ground wire or contact with the probe tip.
Test Procedure:
(1) Enter into Active, select MOMENT mode function and set the overload current to 1A.
(2) Connect probe tip to a suspected wire.
(3) Press “OK” button to trigger power supply.
The RED led light will ON and LCD screen will display values of VDC, AMP and VCC, if the VDC value is almost the same as
VCC and AMP value is minimum approach to 0A, it means this is not a true ground. Otherwise, if probe circuit breaker
tripped or display OVERLOADED, it is more than likely a good ground.
Keep in mind that high current components, such as starter motors, will also trip the circuit breaker.
background
25
4.7 Following & Locating Short Circuits
In most cases a short circuit will appear by a fuse or a fusible link blowing or an electrical protection device tripping (i.e., a
circuit breaker).
This is the best place to begin the search.
Test Procedure:
(1) Remove the blown fuse from the fuse box.
(2) Use the probe tip to activate and energize each of the fuse contacts.
(3) The contact which trips the circuit breaker is the shorted circuit. Take note of this wire's identification code or color.
(4) follow the wire as far as you can along the wiring harness.
Here is an example of this application:
• If you are following a short in the brake light circuit, you may know that the wire must pass through the wiring harness at
the door sill. Locate the color-coded wire in the harness and expose it.
• While in Active interface, select MOMENT mode. Use the probe tip to contact the marked wire, press the “UP” button to
trigger power supply.
• If the circuit breaker tripped, you have verified the shorted wire.
• Cut the wire and energize each end with the probe tip. The wire end which trips the circuit breaker again is the shorted
circuit and it will lead you to the shorted area.
• Follow the wire in the shorted direction and repeat this process until the short is located.
4.8 Trailer Lights and Connection Test
When the probe is in the Multimeter or SMART test, connect the probe auxiliary ground lead to the trailer light, and insert
the probe tip into the OBD socket to display the current voltage. With this method, you can check the function and direction
of the connector and trailer lights. If you find the trailer light connection correctly, you can use the “Component Activation”
function to test whether the trailer light is working or not working.
