- Check for broken or partially broken wire inside of insulation, which could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. These circuits may be intermittent or resistive when loaded. Check by monitoring for voltage drop with system under load. If problem exists, repair as necessary. If problem does not exist, perform self-diagnostics. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMΒ .
