- With ignition off, connect voltmeter positive probe to terminal No. 3 of self-diagnostic connector, located under right side of dash. See Fig 1 . Connect voltmeter negative probe to terminal No. 4 or 5 of self-diagnostic connector.
- Turn ignition on. Voltage signals generated are read as needle sweeps. The needle sweep range is 0-12 volts. Longer duration pulses are recorded as the tens digit of code, and shorter duration pulses are recorded as ones digit of code. Codes are separated by a pause.
- Read and record self-diagnostic (trouble) codes on basis of deflection of voltmeter needle. See TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION table. Proceed to appropriate CODE test for diagnosis and servicing procedure. If 2 or more trouble codes are stored, lowest number code will be indicated first. After repairs are complete, erase trouble codes. See CLEARING CODES .
