SAFETY

Carefully read all operating instructions

before using the BVA-460

Wear eye protection when working

around batteries.

Be sure each test is completed before

removing load clamps to prevent arcing and potential explosion from battery gases. Never remove load clamps

while testing. Keep sparks ames, or

cigarettes away from batteries.

Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well

as tester leads and cords away from moving blades and belts.

Provide adequate ventilation to remove car exhaust.

In extremely cold temperatures, check for frozen electrolytic uid

before applying load. Do not attempt to Load Test or charge a battery under 20 degrees. Allow the battery to warm to room temperature before testing or charging.

Warning! Never attach the BVA-460 to a battery that is connected

to any other tester or charging unit. Damage may result.

CAUSE OF BATTERY FAILURE

Incorrect Application: Wrong size battery may have inadequate cold cranking rating for

original vehicle specications.

Incorrect Installation: Loose battery hold-downs cause excessive vibration, which can

result in damage to the plates.

Improper Maintenance: Low electrolytic uid and corrosion on battery connections can

greatly reduce battery life and affect battery performance.

Age of Battery: If the date code on the battery indicates it is fairly old, the failure may be

due to natural causes.

Overcharging: Overcharging caused by a high voltage regulator setting or incorrect

battery charging can cause excessive gasing, heat and water loss.

Undercharging: Undercharging caused by a faulty charging system or low voltage

regulation can cause lead sulfate to gradually build up and crystallize on the plates greatly reducing the battery's capacity and ability to be recharged.

Page 5

INSPECTION

Valid automotive electrical system testing depends on all the components being in good operating condition. In addition,

the battery MUST have sufcient charge for testing. Carefully perform the following steps before attempting any electrical

diagnosis.

VISUAL CHECK

Inspect Belts for cracks, glazed surface and fraying. Tighten loose belts.

Inspect Battery for terminal corrosion,

loose or broken posts, cracks in the case, loose hold-downs, low electrolyte level, moisture, and dirt around the terminals.

If the battery terminals are corroded or

dirty, clean terminals before performing any tests.

Inspect Starting System. Check starter, solenoid, and regulator for loose connections,

loose mounts and frayed or cracked wires.

Important Note: A damaged battery must be replaced before proceeding.

STARTING TEST

The starting system test measures the amount of current needed to crank the engine, cranking voltage, and cranking speed and provides the initial information to diagnose and/or further test the starting system if necessary.

Symptomatic Check before Proceeding:

Check all cables and connections. Check the battery for corrosion and dirty terminals. Check starter/solenoid for visual defects. Check the ignition switch and any magnetic switches

for loose or bad wiring, loose mounting, or connections and sticking contacts.

Check for starter/solenoid noise. The type of noise or

the lack thereof can help in diagnosing the problem.

Does the solenoid click, but the starter does not turn?

Does the starter turn, but not engage the ywheel? Is

the starter sluggish?

Page 16

STARTING TEST cont.

Disconnect the Control Module from the Load Module. Make sure the engine is off. Connect the Large clamps of the Load Module to the battery. Place the load module in a stable location in the engine compartment so it will not fall when the engine is started. Take the Control Module with into the vehicle. From the main menu press the Starting Test button.

When you are ready to run the Starting test; for gasoline engines, make sure the ignition key is in the off position and all accessories are off. Press the Start button. For diesel engines, turn off all the accessories, turn the ignition key to the run position and wait for the glow plugs to turn on then turn off. Press the Start button.

If the engine is running the BVA-460 detects that and displays this screen. Once the engine is off this screen will clear and the test will continue.

Once the starting test begins, The BVA-460 does some preliminary measurements. This takes about 7 seconds.

If there is any connection issue, the following screen will appear. Check your connections to the battery and make sure the posts are free of corrosion. This screen will clear and the test will continue once the connection is correct.

When the BVA-460 is ready it will prompt you to start the engine.

Page 17

STARTING TEST cont.

The BVA-460 will nish the

starting test.

If the engine compression strokes were detected, The BVA-460 will ask how many cylinders the engine has so it can calculate the engine’s cranking speed.

If a diesel engine was tested enter how many cylinders the engine has.

The BVA-460 will nish the

starter test.

The Starting System passed.

Note: If Large starting current is detected it could be the result of a heavier load found in a diesel engine. This screen allows an engine type to be selected.

This screen will appear if the battery voltage during cranking was to low.

Page 18

STARTING TEST cont.

This screen will appear if the starter current draw was to high.

If manufacturer's specications are not available the chart below can be

used as a general guideline. The amounts are in Amps.

If the tester detected the engine compression strokes during cranking, the result screen will show the engine cranking RPM. This screen will appear if the engine cranking speed during starting was to low.

5 Cyl Gas up to 250A

5 Cyl Dsl up to 400A

If the results are out of specication do the following:

• Inspect the connectors for excessive voltage drop.

• Repair or replace any defective cables or connectors.

• Retest the system.

If still out of specications: High Amp reading may indicate engine's ignition system is out of time or a faulty starter. Some possible causes are shorted windings, bent armature, broken housing or bad bearings.

STARTING CURRENT DRAW AND DIESEL ENGINES

There are a few points to consider in testing a starting system on a diesel

engine. The BVA-460 is designed to recognize any signicant amount of draw;

this includes glow plugs in small diesel engines. In heavy-duty applications consider computer and accessory draw.

650A

• Make sure you start the engine quickly. The engine should be warm.

• Turn the ignition on and allow the glow plugs to heat up and click off before you run the Starting Test.

CHARGING TEST

This test measures the output of the charging systems under load conditions. This information provides the basis for further charging system tests. It also detects the presence of an open or shorted diode that causes an output loss of several amps and can cause the failure of other diodes.

Symptomatic Check before Proceeding:

Battery should be in good condition and charged before testing the Charging System. Check warning light indications. Check belt condition and tension. Check all cables and connections. Check the battery for corrosion and dirty terminals. Does the battery have a low state of charge? Make sure all electrical items are off. Check for Alternator noise.

Select the Charging Test from the menu

Make sure the Load Module is connected to the battery and that the engine is running. Press the START button to start the test.

If the engine is not running, the BVA-460 will detect that and display the following screen.

Page 20

CHARGING TEST cont.

The BVA-460 will wait for the vehicles system voltage to stabilize. This can take up to 30 seconds.

Some vehicles have a fuel saving mode that throttles back the alternator if the battery is charged and the loading is light. When the BVA-460 detects this it will ask you to turn on the headlights which will throttle up the alternator.

Once the voltage is stable the BVA-460 will test the charging system.

Once the charging test is complete. The BVA-460 will display the test results. These results include. Test Number. Voltage regulation. Voltage ripple. Output current. From here you can print the results or save the results to AmpNet if you have that service activated. All tests are saved internally in the BVA-460.

Again the BVA-460 will wait for the vehicles system voltage to stabilize. This can take up to 2 minutes.

Page 21

CHARGING TEST cont.

This screen will appear if the Charging system tests good.

This screen will appear if the voltage regulation is bad.

This screen will appear if the voltage ripple is high which is an indicator of a diode failure in the alternator.

If the charging system fails for low charging current, rerun the test while holding the engine at a fast idle speed. (1500-2000 RPM)

Page 22

VOLTAGE DROP TEST (Starter Cable Test)
