Donāt be worried. If a battery gets low, auto start stop is temporarily disabled. Itās literally a signal to replace your batteries. You donāt need to make changes to the system. Similar or identical systems are in hundreds of thousands of vehicles. Nothing weird here.
Electronic Stop/Start =EPA imposed where the engine shuts off at a stop light then restarts when you take your foot off the brake. Ibs =Intelligent Battery system.= it is a little tiny black sensor on the negative cable side at the terminal that monitors the power level of the Auxiliary Battery for the ESS and the Main battery. It is sandwhiched between both negatives and monitors the volts . It sends a signal to the PCM telling it to either charge the batteries ir to maintain and trickle charge the batteries.
That Harbor freight meter is rocking though! Great to have if you don't have anything else. Best thing about a Harbor Freight meter is when you break it, you don't lose any sleep and get another.I was sure the voltage pic would put the wow factor over the top .. alas I failed .. why me why me ... I gotta go find some Elmers paste to go eat
I prefer my Klein that has been working for decades and doesnāt fail.
Maybe Iām just irritated since I have a shop press from HF that failed on the first press, and now I need to return the stupid thing.
I have a handful of different models. In the past, I had a HF in every vehicle. Sometimes they just disappear or the leads are missing or the batteries corroded making it useless. I have upgraded the throwaways to a Fluke 101. Mind you they were only $40 each when I did this. I have lost a couple of those too. I think family members needed a meter and knew where to find one. Great to toss it the glovebox due to their size.
I have the 20t. It's maybe 10 years old. Is it out of fluid? Air?
Totally agree. I have four I think. But we used to have boats, so there was a toolkit per boat. Now we have two extras because of that.
Hydraulic fluid. Might be easier to swap out the bottle jack. But maybe thereās a way to refill it.
Every one I have seen had a small hole to refill. But then I've only ever had one bottle jack get low, and it's easily over 35 years old
I went with the 50 ton because of the AMC rear axles I work with. If the hub puller doesn't work or someone pulls the whole damned thing, backing plate and all, you almost have to use a press with some serious force.
Unless you have what I have, then you take it over to your electronics bench and attempt repairs.......
Yes come back in about 2 hrs. Its dilating now close to 8 cm should be able to be birthed in about an hour or two.Harbor Freight, hydrolic fluid, Flukes, 20t, running outta air, glove box and boatsā¦???! What in tar nation are we talking bout?? Iām going back to bed. Iāll come back in a few and see if weāre gonna be ok.
