Testing Procedure

2010 GMC Savana Special 4.8 ASECTION Testing Procedure
NOTE: The J 39200  must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200  can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured.
  1. Connect the J 39200  to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter  for information on connecting the J 39200  to the circuit.
  2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200  to the V (AC) or V (DC) position.
  3. Press the range button of the J 39200  in order to select the desired voltage range.
  4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200  . The J 39200  displays 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
    NOTE: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change.
  5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions .
  6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded.
  7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value.
  8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value.
  9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
    • If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
    • If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

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.
