Before testing any of the components, perform
the following checks:
• Control failure can be the result of corro-
sion on connectors. Therefore, disconnect-
ing and reconnecting wires will be neces-
sary throughout test procedures.
• All tests/checks should be made with a
VOM or DVM having a sensitivity of 20,000
ohms-per-volt DC, or greater.
• Check all connections before replacing com-
ponents, looking for broken or loose wires,
failed terminals, or wires not pressed into
connectors far enough.
• Resistance checks must be made with
power cord unplugged from outlet, and with
wiring harness or connectors disconnected.
