- Digital Volt/Ohm Meter (DVOM) on 20 volt scale.

- Enter Output State Diagnostic test mode, refer to Quick Test (Extracting and Clearing Codes)/Output State Diagnostic Test Mode. Output State Diagnostic Test Mode

- Disconnect both Secondary Air Injection Bypass (AIRB) and Secondary Air Injection Diverter (AIRD) solenoids.

- Connect DVOM positive test lead to VPWR circuit and negative test lead to one solenoid vehicle harness connector.

- While observing DVOM, depress and release the throttle several times (to cycle output On and Off).
