Engine Controls - Tests W/Codes: Introduction
If no faults were found while performing BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, proceed with self-diagnostics. If no fault codes or only pass codes are present after entering self-diagnostics, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES article in this section for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.).
This article uses many abbreviations for devices, signal names, and wire colors. See ABBREVIATIONS table in TESTS W/CODES article in this section. Abbreviations for wire colors used in individual PINPOINT TEST diagrams are as follows:
- BLK - Black
- BLU - Blue
- BRN - Brown
- GRN - Green
- LT GRN - Light Green
- ORG - Orange
- PNK - Pink
- RED - Red
- WHT - White
- YEL - Yellow
