DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Battery Test
^ If battery is low, check charging system.
^ Check for a battery draw that may be discharging the battery.
^ Using an ohmmeter to check resistance, shake wires to locate intermittents.
^ Check the tightness of the female terminal grip with a spare male terminal.

When Attempting To Diagnose - an intermittent problem, use the scan tool to review supplemental diagnostic information. The supplemental data can be used to duplicate a problem.

^ Select Malf History from scan tool ABS menu.

Intermittents Or Opens - suspected to be at the connectors can be detected by using a diagnostic service probe. Voltage can be read on wires without disconnecting any connectors.
