Inspection of ALT FR Signal.
Check for a shon in the wire {ALTF line):1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.2. Disconnecl the negative baatery cable from the battery.3. Disconnect the ECM connectorc (31P).
4. Check for continuity betweenbody ground and ECM con-nector terminal C17.

Check the operation ofthe ALT:1. Turn the;Onition switch OFF-2. Reconnect the ALT GRN 4P(3P)* connector to the ALT.3. Start the engine. Hold theengine at 3,000 rpm wkh noload {in Park or neutral) untilthe radiator fan comes on,then let it idle.4. Measure voltage bet/veen ECMcon nector termina ls C17 and A9.
Ropair short in the wir6 betweenth6 ECM (C17) and the ALT.
Substitute a known-good ECMand recheck. It prescribed voltagGis now available, replace th€ origi-nal ECM.
Does the voltage decrease whenheadlights and rear defogger areturned on?ALT FR signal is OK.

Troubleshooting
Tips and Precautions
Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their
wires; pull on lhe connector halves instead.
Alwavs reinstall Dlastic covers.
Before connecting connectors, make sure the termi-
nals are in Dlace and not bent.
a Check lor loose retainer and rubber seals.
The backs of some connectors are packed with
grease. Add grease if needed. lf the grease is contami-
nated, reolace it.

Bef ore Troubleshooting
a Check applicable tuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
box.
Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.
Check the alternator belt tension.
CAUTION:
a Do not quick-charge a battely unless the battery
ground cable has been disconnected. otherwise
you will damage the alternator diod€s.
a Do not attempt to crank the engine with the bat-
tery ground cable loosely connected or you willse-
verely damage the wiring.
a The originsl radio has a coded theft plotection cir-
cuit. Be sure to get the customel's code numbel
before- disconnecting the battsry.- removing the No. 47 (7.5 A) fuse from tho
under-hood luse/relay box.- removing the radio.
Atter service. leconnect Dower to the radio and
tum it on. When the word "CODE" is displayed,
enter the customer's 5-digit code to restore radio
ooeration.
Handling Connectors
a Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose
wire terminals.
a Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with
grease (except watertight connectors).
a All connectors have push-down release type locks.
LOCKING TAB
LOCKING TAB
Some connectors have a clip on their side used to at-
tach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected
unless you tirst release the lock and remove the con-
nector from its bracket.
