Control Units
- The control unit may be tested with a voltmeter. Engine must be at operating temperature. For testing, ignition switch must be "ON" and engine not running. Measure voltage at each terminal and compare values to appropriate Control Unit Testing chart.
- The control unit has a built-in fail safe mechanism. If certain malfunctions occur during driving, the control unit will automatically initiate a command so driving performance will not be affected. See Control Unit Malfunction chart.
