components may be obtained.
Circuit Diagram/Wire Harness Connector
Cable
When working through a flow chart, refer to the illustrations,
the associated circuit diagram and the wire harness connector
table as necessary. The wire harness connector table for each
circuit diagram identifies the connector number, description,
type and general location.
In order to perform most diagnostic routines, a BREAKOUT
BOX (Part No. B-48115) and a DVOM (Part No. HD-39978)
are required. See
.
To perform the circuit checks with any degree of efficiency, a

with the engine running, the check engine lamp will continue
to flash trouble codes. To stop check engine lamp from flashing
codes, turn engine stop switch OFF.
