Checking Connectors And Wiring

Check central electronic module (CEM) connector B and the connector to the alarm LED. Check for contact resistance. Check for oxidation. Check for damage carefully.

Check the signal cable between the central electronic module (CEM) and the alarm LED. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.

Take readings between:

• Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #B5 (#5) and alarm LED terminal #3.

Check the ground lead between the central electronic module (CEM) and the alarm LED. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.

Take readings between:

• Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #B28 (#28) and alarm LED terminal #5.

Remedy as necessary.
