3. Switch off the consumer and start the engine.
4. The evaluation of the starting process and the
starting voltage are displayed on BAT 115.
5. Start the further tests (generator test, generator
idle voltage test, battery harmonic content test and
generator charging voltage test) with E and follow
the instructions on the display.

If a test vehicle is equipped with a charging
regulated system and its battery is fully charged,
an accelerating engine rpm can not be detected by
the system (because the alternator automatically
switched off for reducing fuel consumption). In this
case charging system test is impossible.
