Component Tests and General Diagnostics

How to Troubleshoot Circuits at the PCM

Special Tools Required
Backprobe set 07SAZ-001000A (Two required)

SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS components locations, precautions, and procedures in the SRS section before performing repairs or service.
1. Pull back the carpet from passenger's side of the center console to expose the PCM.
2. Inspect the circuit on the PCM, according to the DTC troubleshooting, with the special tools and a digital multi meter.





3. Connect the backprobe adapters (A) to the stacking patch cords (B), and connect the cords to a multimeter (C). Using the wire insulation as a guide for the contoured tip of the backprobe adapter, gently slide the tip into the connector from the wire side until it comes in contact with the terminal end of the wire.

NOTE: Failure to use the appropriate backprobe tools can cause connector and/or terminal damage.
