Test Notes

You should enter this Pinpoint Test only when directed here.

This Pinpoint Test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Flexible Fuel (FF) sensor.
- Harness circuits: FF SIG, Vehicle Power (VPWR) and Power Ground (PWR GND).
- Powertrain Control Module (PCM).


DESCRIPTION
For additional information FF sensor, refer to Description and Operation / EEC-V Software and Hardware / EEC-V Hardware / PCM Related Inputs.



WARNING:
- HANDLE METHANOL-GASOLINE FUEL BLENDS WITH EXTREME CAUTION. BE SURE TO WEAR CHEMICAL GOGGLES AND IMPERVIOUS GLOVES.
- DO NOT EAT, SMOKE OR DRINK WHEN FUEL BLENDS ARE BEING HANDLED.
- FLAMES FROM METHANOL OR METHANOL-GASOLINE BLENDS MAY BE INVISIBLE.
- INHALING VAPORS FROM FUEL BLENDS IS HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH. HANDLE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.

SAFE FUEL HANDLING
Gasoline, methanol and methanol blends

FIRE
- REPORT ALL FIRES to the appropriate authorities.
- FLAMES from methanol or methanol-gasoline blends MAY BE INVISIBLE.
- Know the locations of PORTABLE EXTINGUISHER, FIRE BLANKETS, FIRE ALARMS and EYE WASH, SHOWER FACILITIES. Learn how to use them.
- Use a B or AFFF (light water) type FIRE EXTINGUISHER to fight flammable liquid fires.

FIRST AID
- IF SWALLOWED
- If GASOLINE has been swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY!
- If METHANOL OR A METHANOL/GASOLINE BLEND has been swallowed, induce vomiting under the direction of a physician or Poison Control Center. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY!
- When overcome by vapors, MOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR if safe. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) as appropriate. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY!
- IF SPLASHED IN EYES, FLUSH with large amounts of water for 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if worn. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

HEALTH
- ALL FUELS may be HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED.
- IF FUEL IS SWALLOWED, onset of serious health effects may be delayed 12 to 24 hours.
- FUELS AND PRODUCTS CONTAINING METHANOL (e.g. windshield washer fluid) may cause blindness if swallowed.
- ALL FUEL VAPORS may be HARMFUL IF INHALED.
- ALL FUELS are IRRITATING to the EYES and RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
- FUELS made with GASOLINE may contain benzene which is a cancer causing agent.

HANDLING
- Use FLAMMABLE LIQUID HANDLING PRECAUTIONS.
- Wear CHEMICAL GOGGLES and NITRIDE GLOVES (additional protective clothing and equipment may be necessary in some instances).
- Keep flammable liquids in APPROVED LABELED CLOSED CONTAINERS.
- Use in WELL VENTILATED AREAS and CONTROL VAPORS. Be aware that vapors ARE NOT VISIBLE, are heavier than air, can travel along the floor and will settle in lower areas.
- When transferring flammable liquids, BOND the RECEIVING CONTAINER to the SOURCE and GROUND the SOURCE to the EARTH.
- DO NOT SMOKE or use HEAT/SPARK PRODUCING EQUIPMENT near vapors.
- DO NOT eat, smoke or drink where these products are handled, processed or stored.
- NEVER SIPHON BY MOUTH.
- WASH HANDS thoroughly after HANDLING any FUEL.

SPILLS
- Notify the proper authorities in the EVENT of any spill you have NOT been trained to clean up.
- STOP, CONTAIN AND CLEAN UP small spills with an absorbent material.
