Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
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.
