General Information

The following changes have been made to the diagnostic tests. The changes are the addition of isometric connector views (when possible) and a system schematic at the top of the graphic page to assist in diagnosing the problem. Please notice that the schematic at the top of the graphic page does not show all the inter-connections between the two points being tested, and not all the splices on that circuit; only what is applicable to the circuit being diagnosed.

Whenever a connector is disconnected, inspect that connector for damage. Three basic types of damage to connectors may occur. They are: corrosion of terminals, split or broken connector shell, or backed out or spread terminals. These conditions may cause bad connections and therefore, be the source of the problem. Repair or replace damaged connectors or terminals as necessary.
