   Result On Printer	Remedy
   GOOD BATTERY	No action is required
   GOOD RECHARGE	Battery is in a good state Recharge the battery and use
   CHARGE & RETEST	Battery is not charged properly Charge and test the battery again. (Failure to charge the battery fully may read incorrect measurement value)
   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.

   Starter Test Results 

   STARTER TEST RESULTS REFERENCE
   
   

   Result On Printer	Remedy
   CRANKING VOLTAGE NORMAL	System shows a normal starter draw
   CRANKING VOLTAGE LOW	Cranking voltage is lower than normal level Check starter
   CHARGE BATTERY	The state of battery charge is too low to test Charge the battery and retest
   REPLACE BATTERY	Replace battery 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.

   NOTE: 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.
