Check th€ ope.ation of the ALT:
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF2. Reconnect the ALT 4P {3Pi*connector to the ALT.3. Start the engine. Hold theengine at 3,000 rpm with no
load (in Park or neutral) untilthe radiator fan comes on,
then let it idle.4. Measure voltage betweenPCM connector terminals C17and A9.
Ropeir short in the wir6 betweonthe PCM lC17l and the ALT.
Substitut. a known-good PCM
