Stan/SPL -- Thank so much for attaching those pages!
I'll admit my knowledge of car mechanics is rather limited, but darn!!! one more thing to add to my list of "things I won't be able to fix myself anymore". Since aux batteries usually don't have a long shelf life around here (read: hot summers), this mean yet more $$$ I'll have to shelve out when it's time to replace it.

Couldn't agree more! Even if one would be willing to purchase that $$$$$ intelligent tester, those @#$% instructions don't sound very enticing... Let's see:
(a) Apply the parking brake [...]
(n) Move the shift lever to the D position [...]
(o) Depress the accelerator pedal with your right foot while firmly depressing the brake pedal with your left foot, and maintain an engine load value of 45% or more (60 to 70% of full acceleration) for approximately 30 seconds. Notice: do not perform this step for 40 seconds or more.
Uhhh.. Am I dreaming or did it ask you to firmly hit both the gas AND the brake pedals simultaneously while in "D" (yes, with the parking brake on, but that's just a small comfort)?
