  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Disconnect the inclination sensor harness connector.
  3. Probe the inclination sensor battery positive voltage circuit at the inclination sensor harness connector with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
- Go to Step 4  Go to Step 8 
4 With a DMM, measure the voltage of the inclination sensor signal circuit at the inclination sensor harness connector.
Is the voltage near the specified value?
B+ Go to Step 5  Go to Step 6 
5 Test the inclination sensor supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage, a short to ground, or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 7 
6 Test the inclination sensor signal circuit for an open or a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
