System/Component Tests: Introduction: Notes

Prior to testing separate components or systems, it is highly recommended that all procedures listed in BASIC TESTING article be performed. Since many computer controlled and monitored components will set a trouble code if they malfunction, it is also recommended that self-diagnosis be performed. See G - TESTS W/ CODES article.

NOTE: Testing of individual components does not isolate possible shorts or opens in the control harness of electronically controlled systems. Use ohmmeter to isolate shorts or opens in harness. Perform all voltage with Digital Volt Ohmmeter (DVOM) with minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless specifically stated different in testing procedures.
