QT8 Perform Continuous Test







- Hook up the Rotunda 73 Digital Multimeter 105-00051 or equivalent and jumper wire, or the Rotunda Super STAR II Tester 007-0041B, as in Test Step QT5 or QT6.

- Key ON.

NOTE: Use the audible warning function on the tester by turning the "SPKR" switch ON. You will be alerted of a continuous test fault without having to visually check the tester.

- Tap, move, and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or harness working with short sections from the sensor to dash panel and to anti-lock brake control module. Drive vehicle, if necessary.

- Does the indicator illuminate continuously or is an audible warning heard from Super STAR II Tester?

NOTE: With the key ON, any coded fault re-created during continuous test will illuminate the warning indicator constantly. If the key is turned OFF, then back ON without clearing codes from memory, the warning indicator will flash codes along with the VOM or the Super STAR II Tester indicating a past or intermittent fault.

YES -- Record VOM or tester diagnostic trouble codes. Service only the codes re-created in this test step.

NO -- Normal operation. If intermittent fault cannot be re-created, turn key OFF. Disconnect suspect sensor and anti-lock brake control module from harness very carefully. Visually inspect all terminals for corrosion, bad crimps, improperly seated terminals, etc. Reconnect harness connectors and re-attempt this test.
