Verify that the continuity LED is lit, and the output LED is flashing. 

Note:

Output LED may flash so quickly that it appears to be continuously on. This is normal. 

If the continuity LED does not light, and the output LED is not flashing, then check all electrical connections. If all electrical connections are 

good, then proceed to para 3.7.

3.7. Wiring Harness Test Results

1.

If the continuity LED lights and the output LED flashes, the wiring harness for that fuel injector is good.

2.

If the continuity LED fails to light, then there is a problem with the fixed voltage wire in the injector wiring harness. Use a digital multimeter 

to check for an open or short circuit.

3.

If the output LED does not flash then…

a) Check fuel injector wiring harness for an open or short circuit in the wire that turns the fuel injector ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’.
b) The driver in the engine management ECU may be faulty. Substitute known good unit and retest.
c) Check ignition system. For safety reasons, most fuel injection systems will not deliver fuel without the presence of 

ignition reference pulses from the ignition module. 

Note:

This only applies to a "No Start" condition.

4.

Disconnect Tester from wiring harness and from vehicle battery. Reconnect all injector harnesses. Start and run engine to be sure that 

all injectors are firing normally.

3.

Set Injector/Harness switch to ‘Harness’.

4.

Connect appropriate harness adaptor to the interface cable.

5.

Connect Fuel Injector/Wiring Harness Interface Cable to injector harness being tested using 

the adaptor (fig.4). For all harness adaptors, either wire may be connected to either terminal 

of the harness. The tester is designed in such a way that hook-up orientation does not matter.

Note:

The continuity LED may be bright, dim or off. The status of the continuity LED becomes

important in later testing.

6.

Turn vehicle ignition key ‘ON’, but do not start vehicle.

On most vehicles, the continuity LED will now be on. If the continuity LED remains off, further

testing will determine if a problem exists.

3.6. Injector Harness tests

1.  Connect Tester to vehicle battery. RED clip to the positive (+) terminal and BLACK clip to the 

negative (-) terminal.

Ensure that Power LED is lit before continuing.

2.

Carefully disconnect wiring harness to be tested from fuel injector. Do not jerk or pull 

on wires - some harnesses are attached with clips (fig. 2).

It is a good idea to test injector wiring harnesses in sequence, beginning with cylinder No.1.

7.

Start the engine - if engine will not start, then have an assistant crank the engine. Observe the LEDs. 

Note:

vehicle may start and run even with one or more injectors disconnected. This does not affect 

the harness test. 

Observe all safety precautions.

4. CARE & MAINTENANCE

1.

Keep all Fuel Injector & Harness Tester electrical connections clean and free of corrosion.

2.

If tester face becomes dirty, wipe clean with a damp rag. 

DO NOT 

use alcohol or other strong solvents as they may remove face printing.

3.

Use care to prevent tester wiring insulation from becoming chafed or broken. Do not use tester if insulation or wiring is damaged.

4.

When not in use, store instrument in a safe, dry childproof location.
