Kia Cee'd: General Information / General information
The Micro 570 Analyzer provides the ability to test the charging and starting
systems, including the battery, starter and alternator.
※ Because of the possibility of personal injury, always use extreme
caution and appropriate eye protection when working with batteries.
※ When charging battery by test result, Battery must be fully charged.
To get accurate test result, battery surface voltage must have subsided
ahead before test when you test battery after charged. (See following
Battery Test Results)
|
Keypad
The Micro 570 button on the key pad provide the following functions :
Battery Test Procedure
1. |
Connect the tester to the battery.
– |
Red clamp to battery positive (+) terminal.
|
– |
Black clamp to battery negative (-) terminal.
|
•
|
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-VEHICLE" or "OUT-OF-VEHICLE".
Make your selection by pressing the arrow buttons; then press ENTER.
|
3. |
Select CCA and press the ENTER button.
•
|
CCA : Cold cranking amps, is an SAE specification for
cranking batteried at -0.4°F (-18°C).
|
|
|
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.
•
|
The battery ratings(CCA) displayed on the tester must
be identical to the ratings marked on battery label.
|
|
|
5. |
The tester will conduct battery test.
|
6. |
The tester displays battery test results including voltage and battery
ratings.
Refer to the following table and take the appropriate action as recommended
by the Micro 570.

Remedy
|
GOOD BATTERY
|
No action is required.
|
GOOD RECHARGE
|
Battery is in a good state.
Recharge the battery and use.
※ You have to follow instruction below when you charge battery and
retest, otherwise test result can be inaccurate. (See ‘Charge and
Retest method after battery charge’ below.)
|
CHARGE & RETEST
|
Battery is not charged properly.
–
|
Charge and test the battery again.
|
※ You have to follow instruction below when you charge battery and
retest, otherwise test result can be inaccurate. (See ‘Charge and
Retest method after battery charge’ below.)
|
REPLACE BATTERY
|
Replace battery and recheck the charging system.
–
|
Improper connection between battery and vehicle cables
may cause "REPLACE BATTERY". Retest the battery after
removing cables and connecting the tester to the battery
terminal directly prior to replacing the battery.
|
|
BAD CELL-REPLACE
|
Charge and retest the battery.
–
|
If the Micro 570 recommends "REPLACE BATTERY", replace
the battery and recheck the charging system.
|
|
[Charge and Retest method after battery charge]
Battery charge
Set battery charger to ‘Auto Mode’ (The Mode that charging current drops
as the battery charges.) and charge battery until charging current down
close to zero or the charger alerts you with an alarm when charge is
complete.
(Minimum charging time recommended: More than 3 hours with Auto Mode
that explained above)
• |
If battery is not fully charged, battery surface voltage will
be high while the amount of current charged (CCA) in battery
is low. If you measure the battery under this condition, tester
may misjudge that battery sulfation occurred because the amount
of current in battery is too low in comparison with battery
voltage.
* Surface voltage: When battery is charged electrolyte temperature
increases and chemical reaction become active resulting in an
excessive increase of battery voltage.
It is known that it takes approximate one day to subside this
increased surface voltage completely.
|
Battery Test after charge
Do not test battery right after the charge. Test battery after battery
surface voltage has subsided as instructed in the following procedure.
(1) |
When battery charge is complete, install the battery in the
vehicle.
|
(2) |
Put IG key to ON position and turn on head lamp with low beam,
and wait 5 minutes. (Discharge for 5 minutes)
|
(3) |
Turn off the head lamp and IG key, and wait 5 minutes. (Waiting
for 5 minutes)
|
(4) |
Remove +, - cable from the battery and test battery.
|
•
|
Whenever filing a claim for battery, the print out of
the battery test results must be attached.
|
|
Starter Test Procedure
|
7. |
After the battery test, press ENTER immediately for the starter test.
|
8. |
Start the engine.
|
9. |
Cranking voltage and starter test results will be displayed on the screen.
Refer to the following table and take the appropriate action as recommended
by the Micro 570.
Starter Test Results

–
|
Charge the battery and retest.
|
|

–
|
If the vehicle is not started though the battery condition
of "GOOD BATTERY" is displayed, check wiring for open
circuit, battery cable connection, starter and repair
or replace as necessary.
|
–
|
If the engine does crank, check fuel system.
|
|
•
|
When testing the vehicle with old diesel engines, the
test result will not be favorable if the glow plug is
not heated. Conduct the test after warming up the engine
for 5 minutes.
|
|

The MDX-670P Analyzer
The MDX-670P battery conductance and electrical system analyzer tests batteries
as well as starting and charging systems for vehicle.
It displays the test results in seconds and features a built-in printer to provide
a copy of the results.
1) |
Because of the possibility of personal injury, always use extreme
caution and appropriate eye protection when working with batteries.
|
2) |
When charging battery by test result, Battery must be fully
charged. To get accurate test result, battery surface voltage
must have subsided ahead before test when you test battery after
charged. (See following Battery Test Results)
|
|
• |
When testing the vehicle with old diesel engines, the test result
will not be favorable if the glow plug is not heated. Conduct
the test after warming up the engine for 5 minutes.
|
|
1. |
Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal and the black clamp
to the negative (–) terminal.
•
|
For a proper connection, rock the clamps back and forth.
The tester requires that both sides of each clamp be
firmly connected before testing. A poor connection will
produce a CHECK CONNECTION or WIGGLE CLAMPS message.
If the message appears, clean the terminals and reconnect
the clamps.
|
|
|
2. |
Scroll to and select IN VEHICLE or OUT OF VEHICLE for a battery not
connected to a vehicle.

Scroll to and select REGULAR FLOODED, AGM FLAT PLATE, or AGM SPIRAL
where applicable.
•
|
If the vehicle equipped with ISG function, select the
AGM FLAT PLATE.
|
|
|
4. |
Scroll to and select the battery’s rating system.
•
|
Mostly, the CCA value is marked on the battery label,
but sometimes marked EN or SEA value. Select one of
them.
|
|
– |
CCA: Cold Cranking Amps, as specified by SAE. The most common
rating for cranking batteries at 0 ºF (–17.8 ºC).
|
– |
SAE: Society of Automotive Engineers, the European labeling
of CCA
|
|
5. |
Set the selected rating value displayed on the screen to the value marked
on the battery label by pressing up and down arrow buttons.
|
6. |
Press ENTER to start test.
|
7. |
After several seconds the tester displays the decision on the battery’s
condition and the measured voltage. The tester also displays your selected
battery rating and the rating units.
