lf the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow'
remove the upper half of the bearing, install a new,
complete bearing with the same color code (select
the color as shown in the right column), and
recheck the clearance.
CAUTION: Do not lile, shim, or scrape the bearings
or the caps to adiust clgarance.
lf the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect.
try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color listed
above or below that one), and check clearance again.
NOTE: lf the Droper clearance cannot be obtained
by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings,
replace the crankshaft and start over.

Connector Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector
View section in the back of the book. Each view includes the color of the connector, where it
is located, and what it connects to.
Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity when you need to probe a
connector. lt can be especially helpful if the connector has more than one wire of the same
cotor.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits
which could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's
how:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit.
2. Make a list of all the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic (include page
numbers).
3. Then, in the Connector View section, look up each connector on your list to see il circuits
related to the other symptoms run through one of them. lf they do, inspect that connector
for the oroblem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all
in-line and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector
View section (sample below). You find that C324 is common to the rear window defogger
circuit and wiper/washer circuit, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

The cavities (and wire terminals) in each
connector are numbered starting from the
upper left, looking at the male terminals trom
the terminal side (or looking at the female
lerminals f rom the wire side. Both views are in
the same direction so the numbers are the
same.) All actual cavities are numbered, even
if they have no wire terminals in them.

In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure
resistance between two points along a circuit.
Low resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can
make a DVOM give a false reading. To check
a reading, reverse the leads, and take a
second reading. lf the readings differ, the
component is affecting lhe measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit.
A iumper wire is made up ot an in-line fuse
holder connected to a set of test leads. lt
should have a five amoere fuse. Never
connect a jumper wire across a short circuit.
The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locater)
Short finders are available to locale shorts to
ground. The short tinder creates a pulsing
magnetic field in the shorted circuit whlch you
can follow to the location of the short. lts use
is explained on page 15.
SHORT FINDER

contact your local tool supplier. For a list of

Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse box.
2. Check the battery for damage, state of
charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION:
. Do not quick-charge a battery unlers
the battery ground cable has been
disconnected, or you will damage the
alternator diodes.
. Do not attempt to crank the engine wlth
the ground cable disconnected or you
will severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have
no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure lhat connectors without wire
seals are packed with dielectric (silicone)
grease. Part Number: 08798-9001 .
Pack wllh dlelectrlc (sillcons) greass
When connecting a connector, push it until it"clicks" into place.
Do not pull on the wires when
disconnecting a connector. Pull
only on the connector houslngs.
Most circuits Include solid-state
devlces. Test the voltages In these
circuits only with a lo-megaohm or
higher impedance digital multlm6ter.
Never use a test light or analog meter
on chcuits that contain solld-state
devices. Damage to the devices
may result.
