INTEGRITY TESTS
If a problem is suspected with TestBook equipment
the Integrity Tests allow you to make sure your
equipment is working properly. Always run these
tests before calling the help line. They will allow
TestBook to determine if something is wrong with
the equipment. The Integrity Tests can only be
selected from the Welcome screen. If you are having
trouble getting back to the Welcome screen, you can
turn TestBook OFF, then back ON.
At the Welcome Screen, Integrity Test will appear as
a button on the control panel.
Touch the Integrity Tests button to view the Integrity
Tests menu. Use the up and down arrows on the
right - hand side of the scroll box to highlight your
selection. Then touch Continue on the control panel
to run the selected test. A new screen will appear
and the test that you selected will begin
automatically.
When running these tests, keep in mind that
electronic equipment can be affected by many
factors, including temperature and voltage spikes. If
any test appears to fail, always repeat it a second or
third time to make sure that it was not just a one -
time problem.

How to Interpret the Results of the TestBook
Integrity Test
A series of diagnostics will be run to test the integrity
of TestBook hardware. A result will appear after
each test is finished. The tests are described as
follows:
Testing CD DriveThis test attempts to read from the compact disc that is currently in
the drive. If the CD can be read, the message PASSED will appear.
If Fail or No CD Found appears, this may be caused by one of the
following conditions.
There is no CD in the drive (press the eject button to make sure).
The CD is upside down in the caddy. (The label side should be
facing outwards).
The CD is dirty or scratched. (see CD Cleaning Procedure).
The CD is defective. (Try using another CD. If it works, replace the
defective CD).
OR, the drive may be malfunctioning. Check all the above and
retry the test.
Testing LAN CardFor units containing a correctly operating LAN card, the message
Present will appear.
Some units do not have a LAN Card, so that message is Not
Present. This does not indicate an error if your unit does not include
the LAN card.
The LAN (Local Area Network) facility is intended for potential future
developments in dealership systems, and is not currently in use.
Checking for Parallel DeviceThis test will verify the connection to a printer. In many cases, no
printer will be connected and the message off-line or Not Connected
will appear. This is the normal message for a TestBook without a
printer. If a printer is present, properly plugged into TestBook,
powered OFF and On- Line, then the message connected will
appear.
If you have a printer plugged into TestBook, and the message Off
Line or Not Connected appears, check the following:
Is the printer On-Line? The light on the printer labelled On-Line
should be lit. If not, press the On - Line button (on the printer).
If the printer does not become on - line, try resetting the printer by
turning it OFF and then back ON. Touch BLACK or WHITE to
TEST LCD DISPLAY.
If an error code appears on the printer, see the User’s Manual that
came with the printer for an explanation of the message.
Check the cable between TestBook and the printer to make sure it
is plugged in securely.
Check the Configuration Module to make sure TestBook is set up
to use the printer. The configuration screen is reached by touching
Configuration at the Welcome screen. See Set Printer/Paper in
the TestBook Configuration Section of details.
Touch BLACK or WHITE to
TEST LCD DISPLAYAfter the above tests are complete, two new buttons will appear on
the control panel. These buttons, labelled Black and White, test that
the LCD screen is able to display all black or all white. When touched,
a solid black screen or a solid white screen will appear for a few
seconds and then go away.
BLACK- Displays a solid black screen
WHITE- Displays a solid white screen
If service appears necessary after repeating the test, contact the Testbook Help Desk to verify the problem.

ROVING PROBE TEST
The Roving Probe Test will help uncover problems
with TestBook hardware. Run this test whenever you
suspect a problem with the Roving Probes.
Before running this test, make sure the Roving
Probes are plugged into the back of TestBook. Hold
both of the individual probes in your hands,
disconnected from any power source.
To run the test, move the scroll box at the RDS
Integrity Tests screen until Roving Probe is selected.
Then touch Continue. The Roving Probe Test
screen will appear and the test begins automatically.
How To Interpret the Results of the Roving Probe
Test
Two tests will be run to test the Roving Probe
hardware. A result will appear after each test is
finished. The tests are described as follows:
Touch Roving Probes TogetherThis test makes sure that the Roving Probes can complete a closed
circuit. you must hold the probes together for at least ten full seconds.
If either of the probes has an open circuit, it will appear during this
test.
Touch the Roving Probes together as instructed. You should see the
PASSED message appear.
If there is no response. check the following:
Make sure the Roving Probes are securely plugged into the back
of TestBook.
Check the cables for cracks or cuts.
Check the fuse in the back of TestBook. Replace the fuse if
necessary with a 1 amp fuse of the same size. See Fuse
Replacement in the TestBook Installation Guide section.
Connect Roving Probes to a
Battery (1.5 to 12 Volts)This test verifies that TestBook can measure voltage When you make
the connection to any battery rated between 1.5 and 12 Volts, a
readout of the voltage will appear in a box near the middle of the
screen. Be sure to connect the red probe to the battery  + and the
black probe to the battery  -. When the voltage is measured steady
for ten seconds, the test will respondPASSED. (To account for
strong or worn batteries, the test will PASS with any steady voltage of
between 1 and 18 Volts).
If your test battery does not have between 1.5 to 12 volts, or
TestBook cannot read the voltage, the messageFAILEDwill
appear. Check the following:
Check that the Roving Probes are still securely plugged into
TestBook.
Check the fuse in the back of TestBook. Replace the fuse if
necessary with a 1 Amp fuse of the same size. See Fuse
Replacement in the TestBook Installation Guide section.
Check the battery using another tool to make sure that the voltage is
between 1.5 to 12 volts.
If service appears necessary, contact the Testbook
HelpDesk to verify the problem.

LAN CONNECTION TEST
The LAN (Local Area Network) Connection Test is
not available yet. It will be added in a future revision
of the RDS software.
FILE SYSTEM
The File System Test checks for the presence of the
important RDS system files, and checks that they
are the correct size and date.
Errors here may sometimes be corrected by
re-installing the RDS software from the RDS CD, but
the errors may indicate a more significant underlying
problem. Contact Help Desk if re-installing the RDS
software fails to correct the error.

HOW TO GET STARTED
Turn on TestBook, and wait for the Welcome screen
to appear after TestBook has automatically run
through a number of set up and self-test screens.
Select Disc for vehicle.
Locate the current compact disc for the vehicle you
are working on and insert into TestBook.
Select Diagnostic Systemfrom the Welcome
screen.
Select Vehicle and model yearand touch
Continue
Enter VIN:key in the full Vehicle Identification
Number and touchCONTINUE. Check that all the
information on screen is correct for the vehicle and
touchCONTINUEagain.Select the Diagnostic Required
Touch the icon that relates to the vehicle system that
you wish to investigate.
Connect TestBook to vehicle- TestBook will tell
you on screen which connectors and cables you
need to connect it to the vehicle. For each item, you
will be given both the Hewlett Packard part number
(e.g. 29053-60006) and the LandRover part number
(e.g. DTC0007A). Use whichever of the two
numbers you prefer to locate each item on the cable
illustration poster. This will show you what the item
looks like and will tell you which box of the storage
system (e.g. A1) it is kept in. When you have
gathered all the required connectors and cables,
connect them to the TestBook as instructed, and
plug into the relevant diagnostic connector. (If you
do not know where this is located on the vehicle, use
the’HELP’screen facility).
Once all connections have been made correctly, you
can then follow the diagnostic instructions on
screen.
