(5) Connect the test set hose or probe to the open
end of the leaking circuit. The test set gauge should
return to the 27 kPa (8 in. Hg.) setting shortly after
each connection is made. If OK, replace the faulty
disconnected component. If not OK, go to Step 6.
(6)
To locate a leak in a vacuum line, leave one end
of the line plugged and connect the test set hose or
probe to the other end of the line. Run your fingers
slowly along the line while watching the test set gauge.
The vacuum reading will fluctuate when your fingers
contact the source of the leak. To repair the vacuum
line, cut out the leaking section of the line. Then, insert
the loose ends of the line into a suitable length of 3 mil-
limeter (0.125 inch) inside diameter rubber hose.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - DIODE
REPLACEMENT
(1) Disconnect the battery negative cable and iso-
late it.
(2) Locate the diode in the harness, and remove
the protective covering.
(3) Remove the diode from the harness, pay atten-
tion to the current flow direction (Fig. 5).
(4) Remove the insulation from the wires in the
harness. Only remove enough insulation to solder in
the new diode.
(5) Install the new diode in the harness, making
sure current flow is correct. If necessary refer to the
appropriate wiring diagram for current flow.
(6) Solder the connection together using rosin core
type solder only.Do not use acid core solder.
(7) Tape the diode to the harness using electrical
tape making, sure the diode is completely sealed
from the elements.
(8) Re-connect the battery negative cable, and test
affected systems.
