35 - Low Resistance Across Pins 8 and 9 at Diag. Monitor

Electrical Schematic:





Normal Operation
The diagnostic monitor measures the resistance across Pin 8 and Pin 9 every time the ignition switch is turned to RUN. If the resistance across Pins 8 and 9 is less than 0.7 ohm, the monitor will flash Diagnostic Trouble Code 35. Note that it does not matter if Pin 7 is grounded or not. If low resistance is measured across Pins 8 and 9, Diagnostic Trouble Code 35 will appear.

Possible Causes
Low resistance across Pins 8 and 9 can be caused by:
1. A jumper wire Installed across diagnostic monitor harness connector Pins 8 and 9. Pins 8 and 9 should be vacant.
