Probing Electrical Connectors: Frontprobe: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
NOTE:
Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection, which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors:
