  1. Turn ignition off. Install BOB, leaving ECA disconnected. Turn ignition on. Cycle switch in question. Measure voltage between switch BOB test pin and ground. If voltage changes from less than 4 volts to more than 10 volts, switch is okay. If sent here from SWITCH MONITOR TEST in QUICK TESTS, replace ECA. If sent here from elsewhere in QUICK TESTS, return to QUICK TESTS. If voltage is not as specified, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage at switch in question on wire to ECA. Cycle switch. If voltage changes from less than 4 volts to more than 10 volts, repair wire from switch to ECA. If voltage does not change from less than 4 volts to more than 10 volts, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition on. Install BOB, leaving ECA disconnected. Measure resistance between BOB test pin for switch in question and ground and between BOB test pin and BOB pins 37, 57, and 26. If resistance is greater than 10,000 ohms for all measurements, go to next step. If resistance is not greater than 10,000 ohms for all measurements, repair wire to switch.
  4. Disconnect switch. Measure resistance between switch terminals. Cycle switch. If resistance is less than 5 ohms with switch closed and greater than 10,000 ohms with switch open, switch is okay. If sent here from SWITCH MONITOR TEST in QUICK TESTS, return to QUICK TESTS. If sent here from elsewhere in QUICK TESTS, replace ECA. If resistance is not as specified, replace switch.
