Drive Tests

DRIVE TESTS

The drive tests will aid in diagnosing more complex concerns, and in general, are more time consuming to perform than the pinpoint tests.

NOTE: Do not proceed to any pinpoint test unless directed to do so.

At times, running completely through both pinpoint and drive tests will not lead to concern resolution. Often, the concern is due to an intermittent connection, termination, or a damaged circuit. An attempt has been made to point out obvious sources for potential intermittents within the pinpoint tests. However, it should be noted that several circuits pass through one or more connections between components. These are also areas of potential concern and should be considered. Refer to the intermittent diagnosis procedure.
