Description of Cal Van Tools Deluxe Relay Tester

This tool gives the technician the ability to instantly determine the problem within a tested circuit. It will identify at the push of a button if a wire a part or a relay is defective without the use of a multi-meter. The tool also features easily accessible ports for use with other diagnostic tools. Since the item can jump the relay the technician can use it as a remote control starter in engine work like compression testing distributor or cam shaft adjusting or to run the compressor during an A-C charge. Kit includes the tester 6 popular relay leads 1 universal relay lead. Works with both 12 and 24 volt systems.

Good, but. suitable for multimeters and analyzers

The adapters are slightly (1/8" to 3/16") larger than the relay being tested. Adapters are not suitable in junction boxes with closely spaced relays. Restricted Use.

Pros
  • With this tool the technician can immediately identify a problem in the circuit under test. At the push of a button it will determine if a wire, part or relay is faulty without the need for a multimeter.
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Indispensable when diagnosing vehicle electronics

Quick circuit diagnosis and control of the load on this circuit. Big time saver. Good quality, durable adapters and cover all relay configurations. You can do this by changing the position of the relay, but you can make a mistake and fry something. This tool is complete proof

Pros
  • Including tester 6 common relay outputs 1 universal relay output.
Cons
  • Compatibility

This tool prevents damage and future headaches. Believe me!

It turned out that when checking the circuits, I expanded the contacts of the fuel pump relay. It was in the under hood fuse and relay box on a 2009 Kia Sportage. At high temperatures, the car simply switches off. The relay circuit tool confirmed my theory. $299 later for a new fuse box fixed the problem. This tool would have prevented this situation in the first place.

Pros
  • The tool also has easily accessible ports for use with other diagnostic tools.
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Great, works the same as the aeswaves (uActivate) tester, except for

I was expecting an Aeswave tester to be available but this one is more than half the price of $85 and does the same job: 1- activate circuitry and components 2-6 adapters plus universal adapters with pin numbers on wires , which are very easy to hook 3- The only difference is that there is no external cable to measure the current in the circuit, just like the uactivate tester, but if you are an electrician you know how to measure the current check via the test connection on the tester. one for…

Pros
  • . Since the item is switchable via a relay, the technician can use it as a remote control trigger when working on the engine, such as checking the compression distributor or adjusting the camshaft or starting the compressor during AC charging.
Cons
  • Expensive
