- Locate CPU behind left kick panel. For connector "A", disconnect CPU from joint box and take measurements at CPU terminals. For connectors "B", "C" and "D", using DVOM, leave CPU connectors attached to measure voltage at specified terminals (backprobe connectors). To check continuity, disconnect CPU connectors and measure at specified connector terminal. See Fig 1 -Fig 5 .
- If voltage measurements or continuity are not as specified, check related components and wiring harnesses. If related components and wiring harnesses are okay, but system is still not functioning properly, replace CPU. See CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
