Pinpoint Test Notes

NOTE: keep the driver window rolled down during the Pinpoint Tests to avoid being locked out of the vehicle.

Check that battery is fully charged. (If not, the battery may be causing the concern.)

Disconnect and reconnect battery to reset system.

CAUTION: Do not replace parts unless test results say they should be replaced.

Use New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester or equivalent 007-00500 and 73 Digital Multimeter or equivalent 105-R0051 to perform pinpoint tests.
