  8. ISOLATE AND LOAD TEST THE POWER SUPPLY RELATED CIRCUIT TO THE MEDIA PORT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND, OPEN, OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Check the fuse for an open. If the fuse is open, make sure to check for a short to ground prior to replacing the fuse.
    2. The ignition must be off when performing a load test on a circuit.
    3. Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Media Port and all other harness connectors containing the circuit being tested.
    4. Connect the positive lead of the load test tool to the positive side of the Battery (A). Refer to the diagram below.
    5. Using an approved back probe tool, connect the negative lead of the load test tool to the circuit being tested at the Media Port connector (B).
    6. Using an approved back probe tool and a fused jumper wire, connect the circuit being tested to the negative side of the Battery or a known good ground at the Power Distribution Center (PDC) harness connector (C and D).
    7. The bulb on the load test tool should be illuminated and bright if there is no resistance in the circuit.
      NOTE:

      Why load test a circuit?  A load test is used to determine if a circuit is capable of carrying the amperage needed to perform properly. The 3156 bulb in the load tool illustrated, is a simple but effective method of testing circuit functionality. A 3156 Bulb has approximately 6.0 Ohms of resistance when the bulb is powered  and draws approximately 2.0 amps of current. Read the CIRCUIT LOAD TESTING PROCEDURE for information on building a simple load test tool and for additional load testing information and alternative methods of load testing or voltage drop testing a circuit. Refer to: CIRCUIT LOAD TESTING PROCEDURES .

      NOTE:

      A 12-volt test light can be substituted for the load test tool, but only  if the test light draws enough current to effectively load test the circuit. Many high impedance test lights draw very little amperage (less than 0.1 amps) and are not reliable to load test a circuit. To perform a proper load test of a circuit, the tool being used should draw more than approximately 0.75 amps.

      NOTE:

      Why perform a Voltage Drop Test?  To verify with certainty there is not any resistance in the circuit being tested, perform a simple voltage drop test across the 3156 bulb of the load test tool. To do so perform the following:

      • 1. Connect the leads of a DVOM to the alligator clips on the load test tool while the load test tool is connected in series with the circuit.
      • 2. Compare the voltage drop across the bulb to the voltage reading across the Battery terminals.
      • 3. The voltage dropped across the bulb should be equal to the voltage reading across the Battery terminals if there is no resistance in the circuit being tested.

      Example:  2.0 Ohms of resistance in the circuit being tested will cause the voltage measurement across the bulb to be 25% less than when compared to Battery voltage. The reason for this is that the 2.0 Ohms in the circuit makes up 25% of the total circuit resistance of 8.0 Ohms. Read the CIRCUIT LOAD TESTING PROCEDURE for information on building a simple load test tool and for additional load testing information and alternative methods of load testing or voltage drop testing a circuit. Refer to: CIRCUIT LOAD TESTING PROCEDURES .

      WARNING:

      To avoid possible serious or fatal injury, DO NOT load test any air bag/restraint system components or circuits using the procedures listed here. Refer to the Service Information for proper air bag/restraint system testing procedures.

      CAUTION:

      Do not load test any circuits with components still connected to the circuit.

      NOTE:

      When probing a circuit at an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) harness connector, always use an appropriate back probing tool to prevent any possible damage to the ECU terminals.

      NOTE:

      Compare the brightness of the bulb in the load test tool to that of a direct connection to Battery.

      • Perform the appropriate ECU verification test. If a verification test in not available, Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  9. CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT TO THE MEDIA PORT BY LOAD TESTING THE CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Disconnect the Media Port harness connector to isolate the ground circuit.
    2. Connect the positive lead of the load test tool to the positive side of the Battery.
    3. Connect the negative lead of the load test tool to the ground circuit at the Media Port harness connector (A). Note:  refer to the diagram below.
    4. The bulb on the load test tool should be illuminated and bright if there is no resistance in the circuitry.
