Engine Controls - System/Component Tests - 1.8L: Introduction

Before testing separate components or systems, perform basic diagnostic procedures in BASIC TESTING article. Since many computer-controlled and monitored components set a diagnostic trouble code if they malfunction, also perform self-diagnostics in TESTS W/CODES - 1.8L article.

NOTE: Testing individual components does not isolate short or open circuits. 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 shorted or open wiring harness.
