Using an Inductive Pickup Probe

  1. Connect an inductive pickup probe to the negative battery cable that can read down to 1 mA.
  2. Ignition OFF, as the vehicle systems shut down test for less than 30 mA of parasitic current drain.
    • If greater than the specified range, refer to Circuit/System Testing.
