Electrical Test Program - Electronic Accelerator (EA) Test

WARNING!
Risk of severe injury when touching ignition parts which produce high voltages. Do not touch ignition components.
Persons with heart pacemakers are not to perform repairs on this type of ignition system.

WARNING!
Risk of fatal injury from being pulled into rotating vehicle parts.
Do not reach into rotating parts.
Wear closed and tight-fitting work clothes.
Protect vicinity of rotating vehicle components from unauthorized access.

WARNING!
Risk of explosion from fuel igniting, risk of poisoning from inhaling and swallowing fuel as well as risk of injury to eyes and skin from contact with fuel.
No fire, sparks, exposed flames or smoking.
Pour fuels only into suitable and appropriately marked containers.
Wear protective clothing when handling fuel.

Note regarding "Test Connection" column:
The numbers indicated in parentheses, for example, 1.0 (2A) signify:
2 = Socket 2 on wiring diagram.
A = Connector A on wiring diagram


Connect interior harness connector to connection 1 on test cable.
Connect engine harness connector to connection 2 on test cable.

Preparation for Test:
1. Review section 0,
2. Review 11 , 21 , 22 ,
3. Ignition: OFF,
4. Connect test cable with socket box to N3/11 or N3/12, see 22 .
