fails
to
operate
when

check
the
battery
first

In
particular,
make
sure
the

.
If

be
faulty
and
should
be
replaced
.

Generally,
absence
of
voltage
or
continuity
means
there
is
a
wiring
or
connector
problem
.
Test
results
with
incorrect
values
do
notnecessarily
mean
that
a
component
is
faulty
:
Check
for
loose,
broken
or
corroded
connections
and
wiring
before
re-
placing
components
.
If
the
results
are
still
incorrect,
test
the
component
itself
.

CAUTION-

Always
waitat
least
40
seconds
after
tuniing
off
the
ignition
before
removing
the
connector
from
the
engine
control
module
(ECM)
.
If
the
connec-
tor
is
removed
before
this
time,
residual
power

may
damage
the

connector
disconnect

and

.

When
making
checks
at
the
ECM
itself,
a
breakout
box
should
be
used
to
allow
tests
to
be
made
with
the
connector
attached
to
the
ECM
.
This
also
prevents
damage
tothe
small
termínals
in

.
As
an
alternative,
theharness

can
be
separated
so
that

can
be
made
from
