Test Notes

When measurements are requested in the diagnostic charts, use SA 91114NE digital multimeter with correct terminal adapter from SA 9206Z. When a check for proper connection is requested, refer to "Intermittents and Poor Connections in Diagrams". When a wire connector or terminal repair is requested, use the proper repair parts and refer to "Wiring Repairs".

CAUTION: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU HANDLE A SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM). DO NOT STRIKE OR JOLT THE SDM. BEFORE APPLYING POWER TO THE SDM:
- REMOVE ANY DIRT GREASE, ETC. FROM THE MOUNTING SURFACE.
- POSITION THE SDM HORIZONTALLY ON THE MOUNTING SURFACE.
- TIGHTEN ALL OF THE SDM FASTENERS AND SDM BRACKET FASTENERS TO THE SPECIFIED TORQUE VALUE.
