  2. Disconnect the connector from the device(s) to gain access to the terminals and isolate the circuit being tested.
  3. Using an approved connector back probe tool, connect the positive lead of the load test tool to the circuit being tested at point (A).
  4. Connect the negative lead of the load test tool to the negative side of the Battery or a good chassis ground.
    CAUTION:

    Use only approved connector back probe tools when back probing a connector so as not to cause damage to the terminals or insulation of the connector. Damage to the terminals can cause poor terminal contact or retention. Damage to the insulation can introduce corrosion due to water intrusion.

    • The circuit being tested can carry a load, check other circuits, connectors and terminals for concerns.

    No
