2017 QX30; MAIN 12 VOLT BATTERY TESTING
WITH MIDTRONICS GR8 OR EXP800
This bulletin has been amended to update the Service Information for main 12 volt battery testing.
Please discard previous versions of this bulletin.
APPLIED VEHICLES:
2017 QX30 (H15)
SERVICE INFORMATION
When testing the main 12V battery of an Applied Vehicle with the Midtronics GR8 or EXP800, the test leads
must be connected directly to the posts on the main 12V battery (NOT the remote terminal check points) to
avoid incorrect CCA measurements.

Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 on page 2 for correct connections to the 12 volt main battery.
IMPORTANT: Do not contact any surrounding components when connecting the test leads.
CAUTION: Never connect the Midtronics GR8 or EXP800 as shown in Figure 4 on page 2. This can damage
the pyro fuse connector.
NOTE: The remote terminal check points can be used for all other battery charging or voltage checking
procedures, but will give inaccurate CCA measurements due to voltage drops between them and the main 12V
battery.

applies to your vehicle.
