  1. Inspect NGS tester connector for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. Repair connector as necessary and retest. If connector is okay, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Inspect Data Link Connector (DLC) for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. Repair connector as necessary and retest. If connector is okay, go to next step.
  3. Measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 16 (Light Green/Red wire) at DLC. See Figure . If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, repair power distribution circuit as necessary. See POWER DISTRIBUTION article in WIRING DIAGRAMS.
  4. Measure resistance between ground and terminals No. 4 (Black wire) and No. 5 (Blue/Yellow wire) at DLC. If both resistance readings are 5 ohms or less, repair or replace NGS tester. If either resistance reading is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in appropriate circuit between ground and DLC.
