Component Tests: Clock
Disconnect clock 8-pin connector. Using a voltmeter, check voltage between ground and clock 8-pin connector terminal No. 4 (Blue/Yellow wire). Battery voltage should exist. Check voltage between ground and clock 8-pin connector terminal No. 5 (Gray wire). Battery voltage should exist. Check voltage between ground and clock 8-pin connector terminal No. 1 (White/Black wire). Battery voltage should not exist. If voltages are as specified, replace clock and retest system operation.
