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 Re: Re3
Ensure ignition switch is in OFF position. Disconnect control module connector No. 2. See Fig 1 . Disconnect 16-pin and 14-pin interior fuse panel connectors. Measure resistance between Blue/Red wire at control module connector No. 2 and chassis ground at 16-pin connector. Measure resistance between Black/Yellow wire at control module connector No. 2 and chassis ground at 14-pin connector. If resistances are less than 5 ohms, repair wire(s) in question. If resistances are greater than 5 ohms, replace fuse(s). Go to RE4.
