This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test .
When disconnecting electrical connectors or removing fuses and relays from a fuse block, always inspect the component electrical terminals for corrosion and the mating electrical terminals for tightness.
Use the J 35616 GM Approved Terminal Test Kit for any test that requires probing the underhood fuse block terminals, component wire harness terminals or the ECM wire harness connector terminals.
