NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to BATTERY, BATTERY MOUNTING & BATTERY CABLES Article.
  1. AH1 CHECK THE MESSAGE CENTER OPERATION 
    • Close all doors, hood and luggage compartment lid.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Open the driver door while monitoring the message center displays.
