Pinpoint Tests: Overview

The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation. Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is normal.
