NOTE:
Electronic control unit is located near glove box.
- Locate electronic control unit and press locking tabs back to disconnect connector. All connectors are wired with pin numbers in the same location. Use a volt-ohmmeter for testing.
- Refer to wiring diagram for pin locations. With ignition "ON" and fuel pump jumper wire in place, check for battery voltage at terminals 8 and 15. Connect ground lead of voltmeter to terminals 5 and 16 while checking for battery voltage to ensure these wires make a good ground connection.
- If battery voltage is not available at terminal 8, check Lambda and fuel pump relays. If no voltage at 15, check frequency valve connector. One wire should have battery voltage; the other wire should have continuity to terminal 15. Frequency valve should have 2-3 ohms resistance. Repair or replace as necessary.
- Disconnect oxygen sensor and check for continuity between sensor lead and terminal 2. No continuity should exist between ground and lead wire.
- All models use enrichment switches. See Fig 1 . All switches provide continuity to ground when switch is closed. Actuate throttle to test throttle switches.
- Thermal switches can be checked by removing switch and heating in water. Repair wiring or replace switches as necessary.
- After testing is completed, connect electronic control unit, oxygen sensor, and all switches. Remove fuel pump relay jumper wire and testing equipment.
