Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the DIC.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal F and ground.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates when connected between the battery positive voltage circuit terminal L and ground.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified value, test the ground reference circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the battery positive voltage circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the DIC. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
