Table 2-5. Status Readouts.
Interpretation
VTM Readout
A readout of .8.8.8.8 appears for 1 to 2 seconds each time power is applied to VTM.
.8.8.8.8
It means that there is power to the VTM, and all elements of readout display are
operative.
----
A readout of four dashes indicates the following:
(1) After power is turned on, it signifies that VTM is ready for testing.
(2) During a compression unbalance test, it signifies testing is in progress.
(3) During battery condition test, it signifies battery maybe in discharged
state.
A readout of .9.9.9.9 indicates that VTM is reading a test value beyond the range
.9.9.9.9
of its measurement capability. Either (1) the wrong test number is selected for
parameter being measured; (2) there is a fault in vehicle, or (3) during battery
condition test, it signified bad connections, discharged, or bad batteries.
PASS or FAIL readout is the result of a test that checks the condition of a com-
PASS
ponent being measured. A PASS/FAIL readout means component either passes the
FAIL
test or fails the test.
A readout of AUE indicates to the technician the numerical readout is an average
AUE
value. AUE is displayed only when measuring vacuum variation and the variation
is less than one inch of mercury.

being tested.
Signal to technician to apply full throttle in a CI power test.
CIP

CAL
Numbers are used for prompting messages in several tests. They are as follows:
in confidence, test 66 signals the technician to dial in "99," in CI acceleration/
