INITIAL DIAGNOSTIC CHECK
4.8
GENERAL
To locate faulty circuits or other system problems, follow the
diagnostic flow charts in this section. For a systematic
approach, always begin with
INITIAL DIAGNOSTICS
. Read
the general information and then work your way through the
flow chart box by box.
Diagnostic Notes
If a numbered circle appears adjacent to a flow chart box,
then more information is offered in the diagnostic notes.
Many diagnostic notes contain supplemental information,
descriptions of various diagnostic tools or references to other
parts of the manual where information on the location and
removal of components may be obtained.
Circuit Diagram/Wire Harness
Connector Table
When working through a flow chart, refer to the illustrations,
the associated circuit diagram and the wire harness connec-
tor table as necessary. The wire harness connector table for
each circuit diagram identifies the connector number,
description, type and general location.
In order to perform most diagnostic routines, a Breakout Box
and a DVOM are required. See
4.6 BREAKOUT BOX.
To perform the circuit checks with any degree of efficiency, a
familiarity with the various wire connectors is also necessary.
Job/Time Code Values
Dealership technicians filing warranty claims should use the
job/time code values printed in
bold
text
underneath the
appropriate repair.
INITIAL DIAGNOSTICS
General Information
The diagnostic check is an organized approach to identifying
a problem caused by an electronic control system malfunc-
tion.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The engine may be started and run when the trouble
codes are received using a jumper wire on Pins 1 and 2
of the data link connector. However, if the jumper wire is
removed with the engine running, the check engine lamp
will continue to flash trouble codes. To stop check engine
lamp from flashing codes, turn engine stop switch OFF.

The reference numbers below correlate with the circled num-
bers on the diagnostic check flow charts. See
