• Measure resistance between connector terminals.

• Specification: 80.0 to 120.0 Ω

If specification is not obtained:

• Replace No. 3 cylinder injector together with Needle Lift Sensor G80.
• Check DTC memory and, if necessary, repair any malfunctions and then erase → Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory, checking and erasing  .
• Read readiness code → Readiness code, displaying  .

If DTC memory has been erased, the readiness code must be generated again → Readiness code, setting  .

If specification is obtained:

• Remove wiper arms and plenum cover. →92 WINDSHIELD WIPER & WASHER SYSTEM

• Check wiring between test box and connector for open circuit according to wiring diagram.

• Wire resistance: max. 1.5 Ω

• Check wires for short to one another, to vehicle Ground (GND) and to battery positive (B+).

• Specification: ∞ Ω

• If wiring and resistance measurement values are OK, replace engine control module → Diesel Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) Engine Control Module (ECM) J248 , replacing  .
