 . 
     
-  Switch ignition on.
     
-  With throttle valve in closed throttle position, 
connect multimeter US1119 (Fluke 83 or 
equivalent), and check resistance between 
ECM/test box sockets 59 and 66. 
     
  
Specified value: 3-200         If resistance is NOT OK:  
     
-  Disconnect 8-pin harness connector from throttle 
valve control module -J338-. 
    
-  Check wiring for open circuit between ECM/test box and 8-pin throttle 
valve control module harness connector.
