Step 0: Power on the CPX and connect the CPX clamps to battery (NOT SHOWN ON CPX SCREENFLOW)
It is important to connect the clamps as soon as possible as the CPX will automatically start the battery test in the background as the vehicle and battery information is being entered.
Step 1:Work Order EntryEnter Work Order (if enabled)
To disable Work Order Entry, from the Main Menu go to Settings – Tool – Work Order, then uncheck Work Order box
Step 2: YMM or Manual Entry SelectionSelect the method to obtain battery details. Year/Make/Model automatically populates the battery details based on the vehicle information entered. Manual Entry goes direct to the Battery Test Setup screen and the user must enter the battery details manually.
Step 3: Year/Make/Model EntryEnter the Year, Make and Model of the vehicle being tested. Then select the engine type.
Step 4: Battery Test SetupIf YMM was selected, confirm battery information. NOTE: It is important to confirm the battery details since battery replacement may have occurred in the past that does not match the OE specifications.
If Manual Entry was selected, enter battery details based on the battery which is in the vehicle being tested.
Step 5: Temperature CapturePoint the CPX’s temperature sensor (located on the back of the unit) at the battery. Tap Capture.
Step 6: Test ProgressThe overall test time using Conductance Profiling is approximately one minute. Due to this test time, it is important to connect the tester clamps as a first step and BEFORE entering the vehicle or battery information so that test time remaining at this point is minimized.
Once the battery test is complete the overall result will be shown along with details on the battery.
Using the touch pad, highlight the three dots and then tap the right touch pad to review the cranking and reserve capacity sub-decisions.
