Test Equipment

1997 Acura 2.2CL StandardSECTION Test Equipment

All voltage tests should be performed with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless specifically stated differently in testing procedure. DO NOT  use a test light or analog meter to check circuits with solid-state devices. Solid-state devices can be damaged. All jumper wires should include a 5-amp in-line fuse.

Use 2 Backprobe Sets (07SAZ-001000A ) to backprobe Powertrain Control Module (PCM) when directed by testing. See Fig 1. For PCM connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . DO NOT  puncture wire insulation. Place tester probe into contact with terminal, from terminal side of wiring harness connectors in engine compartment. For female connectors, touch terminal lightly with tester probe. DO NOT  insert probe into terminal.
