Preparation For Checks

PREPARATION FOR CHECKS




1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect the harness connector of the multi-use tester to the diagnostic connector in the fuse box.
3. Connect the power-source terminal of the multi-use tester to the cigarette lighter socket.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
5. Use the multi-use tester to make the system and sensor checks.

NOTE: If the malfunction indicator light (engine-check light) illuminates while the checks are being made, check the self-diagnostic output.

6. After the repair, check again to be sure the problem has been corrected.
7. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
8. Disconnect the multi-use tester.
9. Disconnect the battery negative terminal for 15 seconds or longer. This erases the self-diagnostic code.
10. Restart the engine. Check (by a driving test and other means) that the problem has been corrected.




NOTE: If a test is to be made during cranking, the power to the cigarette lighter will be interrupted. therefore, use the separate battery harness for the multi-use tester.
