WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Acura MDX, 2012 Acura MDX, 2011 Acura MDX, and 2010 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When diagnosis/troubleshooting is done at the water proof connector (A), use the terminal test port above the terminal you need to check. Gently contact the pin probe of the tester or jumper wire at the terminal test port from the terminal side.

NOTE:

Do not insert the pin probe of the tester or a jumper wire into the terminal port.
To prevent damage to the connector terminals, do not insert the test equipment probes, paper clips, or other substitutes as they can damage the terminals. Damaged terminals cause a poor connection and an incorrect measurement.
