- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the GDO.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
