Troubleshooting
Symptom Chart
NOTE:
. Any abnormality must be corrected before continuing the test.. Because of the precise measurements needed. use a multimeter when testinq.. Before performing any troubleshooting procedures check:- Fuses No. 47 l7 -5 Al, No. 56 (20 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and No. 17 (7.5 A) in the under_dash fuse/relavbox- Grounds No. c401, c402, G751- Cleanliness and tightness of alt connectors
SymptomRemedy
