Engine Controls - System/Component Tests: Introduction
Before testing separate components or systems, perform procedures in BASIC TESTING article. Since many computer-controlled and monitored components set a diagnostic trouble code if they malfunction, also perform procedures in articles listed below:
- TESTS W/CODES Paseo
- TESTS W/CODES Tercel
NOTE:
Testing individual components does not isolate shorts or opens. Perform all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use ohmmeter to isolate wiring harness shorts or opens.
NOTE:
When testing some systems, tachometer may be required. Tachometer must be connected to proper terminals. For tachometer connections, see IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE in the ADJUSTMENTS
article.
