DIAGNOSTIC TEST PROCEDURES
Finding the cause of a vehicle fault is not always easy or quick. However, the diagnostic test procedures have been designed to lead you through the steps necessary to find the cause of a vehicle fault as easily and quickly as possible.

- The diagnostic test procedures contain step by step instructions for how to determine the cause of a vehicle fault. Possible sources of the fault are checked and eliminated one by one.
- The diagnostic tests include a schematic of the electrical circuitry for the system, and illustrations of the system components and connectors to clarify the test steps.
- For instructions on performing test procedures, see "Diagnostic Test Procedures" later in this section.

To successfully perform diagnostic testing, use the information and follow the procedures as presented.
