System Check

Electrical functions of entire system may be checked at multi-pin connector of ECU. Turn ignition off. Unplug multi-pin connector from ECU. Using either ohmmeter or voltmeter, check system between terminals as noted in VANAGON AFC DIGIFANT SYSTEM VOLTAGE and RESISTANCE CHECKS charts. Turn ignition on when testing system.

CAUTION: Connect ohmmeter leads ONLY to terminals as specified in charts to prevent electrical damage to ohmmeter when testing system.
