Testing For A Short to Voltage
Testing for a Short to Voltage
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.
CAUTION: Refer to Test Probe Notice.
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary.
2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
^
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
^
Turn ON the engine.
^
Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls.
^
Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested.
3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM.
4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested.
5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground.
6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.
Testing For Continuity
Testing for Continuity
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.
CAUTION: Refer to Test Probe Notice.
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a DMM
1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position.
2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.
3. Disconnect the load.
4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM.
5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested.
6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit.
7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
NOTE: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.
2. Disconnect the load.
3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested.
4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage.
5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground.
6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Testing For Electrical Intermittents
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
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.
Special Tool
J 39200 Digital Multimeter
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching
the test equipment.
