Diagnostic Aids
PINPOINT TEST A is designed for a no-start situation. PINPOINT TESTS B through E are designed to identify hard faults. PINPOINT TESTS F and G are used to search for intermittent failures. Following information should be noted during testing:
- All voltage readings given in test procedures are based on values obtained using a standard DVOM such as Rotund (007-00001) or Fluke (20 or 70 Series). DO NOT use RMS type meter.
- When instructed to inspect a wiring harness, perform both a visual inspection and a continuity test.
- When making voltage checks, ground connections should be made at negative battery terminal or cast iron surface of engine.
- When making voltage checks, ground readings are defined as a value of less than one volt. Battery voltage is defined as a value of 10-14 volts.
- Test procedures are intended to identify faulty components or wiring while fault is present. If complaint is an intermittent condition, refer to TESTS W/O CODES - EEC-IV article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
