Testing Notes & Cautions

NOTE: No repairs or adjustments can be made to the ECA components. If diagnosis shows Processor or Calibration units are not functioning properly, they must be replaced.
CAUTION: Shorting the wiring harness across a solenoid valve can burn out circuitry in the ECA that controls the solenoid valve actuator.
CAUTION: The EEC system contains transistors which CANNOT tolerate excessive voltage surges or transient voltage. Never try to jump-start the vehicle with 24 volts.
CAUTION: The Exhaust Gas Oxygen (EGO) sensor resistance CANNOT be measured by connecting an ohmmeter directly to its output lead. Sensor damage will result if this is attempted.
