XL-7 2WD V6-3.6L (2007)
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position.
2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to one point of the circuit to be tested.
3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit.
4. Operate the circuit.
5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points.
Probing Electrical Connectors
Probing Electrical Connectors
WARNING: This procedure should not be performed on high voltage circuits. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury
and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
NOTE: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or
replacing terminals.
Frontprobe
Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
CAUTION:
^
Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform
most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616
GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals.
^
When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector
terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual
terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test
Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for
terminal size.
NOTE: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64
terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is the J 35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to use
the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper diagnosis.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
