NOTE:
It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
NOTE:
Testing for steps 3 to 7 is performed on the control module K71 side of the harness connector.
NOTE:
Testing for steps 16 to 24 is performed on the control module K71 side of the harness connector.
