NG: Go to STEP 2
OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS
TABLE
b.INSPECT EXHAUST SERVOMOTOR
a. Remove the exhaust servomotor.
b. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 7 and negative (-) lead to terminal 1, then
check that the lever turns to the "ROO" position smoothly.
c. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 7 and negative (-) lead to terminal 3, then
check that the lever turns to the "DIO" position smoothly.
d. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 7 and negative (-) lead to terminal 5, then
check that the lever turns to the "EXO" position smoothl
