1982 Oldsmobile Firenza Base, 2.0L Eng VIN B, Standard TransFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Diagnostic Tools

  1. The CCC system does not require special tools for diagnosis. A dwell meter, tachometer, test light, ohmmeter, digital voltmeter with 10 megohms impedance (minimum), vacuum pump, vacuum gauge and 6 jumper wires 6" long (1 wire with female connectors at both ends; 1 wire with male connectors at both ends; 4 wires with male and female connectors at opposite ends) are only tools necessary for diagnosis.
    NOTE: If dwell meter causes a change in engine operation when connected to M/C solenoid "DWELL" lead (green connector near carburetor), it CANNOT be used. The following tach/dwell models should not be used: G, GA, TDT 1, 2 or 5, 216 and 216/1.
  2. A test light, rather than a voltmeter, must be used when indicated by diagnostic chart.
