Speed Control Electrical Test

Speed Control Circuit:

Electronic speed control systems may be tested using two different methods. One involves use of a DRB. If this test method is desired, refer to the Powertrain Diagnostic Test Procedures for charging and speed control system.

The other test method uses a volt/ohm meter. The volt/ohm meter method is described in the following tests.

CAUTION: When test probing for voltage or continuity at electrical connectors, care must be taken not to damage connector, terminals, or seals. If these components are damaged, intermittent or complete system failure may occur.

When electrical connections are removed, corrosion should be removed from electrical terminals and a light coating of Mopar Multi-Purpose Grease, or equivalent, applied. Inspect connectors for damage terminals.

A poor connection can cause a complete or intermittent malfunction and is also the only connection in the circuit, that can not be tested. For this reason, a loose connection may be misdiagnosed as a component malfunction.
