Diagnostic Strategies

- "Check Connection" means inspect connector for proper seating to mating connector, inspect terminals for good contact and inspect wiring for proper crimping to terminal.

- All continuity checking is done with the system deactivated. This means that the air bags are disconnected and jumper wires are installed.

- "Disconnect" does not mean removal. A disconnected part is not reconnected until specific reconnect instruction is given.

- The following test equipment is used:
^ Dwell-Tach-Volt-Ohms Tester Rotunda 059-00010 or equivalent.
^ Jumper Wires.

- NOTE: Attach positive (+) lead to circuit voltage and negative (-) lead to specified ground. (If a Digital Voltmeter is used on circuits 608 and 609 with monitor disconnected, the readout will not indicate the correct voltage).

- All resistance checks must be made with the negative lead of the ohmmeter at vehicle ground, not battery ground, unless specifically directed otherwise. Three places are recommended; the metal bracket of starter relay, the ignition lock cylinder on the steering column, or the ground wire from harness under RH side of instrument panel.
