System Tests: Notes

CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. Proper grounding of technician and component is essential to prevent damage.
NOTE: Perform all voltage and resistance tests using a Digital Volt-Ohm Meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use ohmmeter to isolate wiring harness shorts or opens.
