- Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity to ground on control unit ground terminals. Use appropriate wiring diagram at the end of this article to determine ECM ground terminals. Resistance to ground should be zero ohms. If reading is other than zero ohms, repair open to circuit ground.
- Using a DVOM, touch negative lead of voltmeter to a good ground. Touch positive lead of voltmeter to each ground terminal. With vehicle running, voltmeter should indicate less than one volt. If voltmeter reading is one volt or more, check for open, corroded or loose connection on ground lead.
