  2. Test for less than 1 Ξ© of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test for an open/high resistance in the low reference circuit.
  3. Ignition ON, test for ignition voltage between the ignition circuit terminal 4 and the low reference circuit terminal 1.
    • If not the specified value, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
