Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp

Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp

Notice: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection, which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.

A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage.

To properly operate this tool use the following procedure.




1. Attach one lead to ground.
2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present.
3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
