Circuit Tests: Notes

1998 Mercury Villager GS, Van CargoSECTION Notes
NOTE: A 104-pin Breakout Box (014-00950) connected to vehicle harness at PCM, is necessary to perform most circuit tests. References to "Test Pin No." found in circuit test steps refer to test terminals on 104-pin breakout box unless specified otherwise. Some transmission related circuit tests require the use of a 60-pin Breakout Box (007-00033) connected to vehicle harness at TCM. Circuit information at beginning of each test identifies circuit and wire colors.
