    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  4. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  5. Test for less than 2 Ω in each of the serial data circuits end to end between the control module harness connector terminal 7 and the DLC terminal 1.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
