Component Resistance

1999 GMC Forward Control 5.7 R, AutomaticSECTION Component Resistance
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Buick Regal and 2003 Buick Century. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Connect DMM between specified terminals at component or at transaxle in-line 20-pin connector to transaxle. Measure individual component resistance at specified temperature. See Figure and Figure . See COMPONENT RESISTANCE  . If resistance is not as specified, replace appropriate component. See Fig 2 .

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
