Results:
• An infinite reading (∞) indicates an open circuit.
Isolate the faulty component. Check continuity of
wiring and connections. Repair or replace faulty
wiring.
Signal Circuit
Use the diode test function of a digital multimeter
to check the signal circuit.
Make sure the key switch is OFF.
Connect the BLACK meter lead to the wire listed
in the table, connect the RED meter lead to
engine ground.
Results:
• No reading (OL or ∞) indicates an open circuit.
• A reading of zero (0) indicates an short circuit.
Isolate the faulty component. Check wiring and
connections. Repair or replace faulty wiring.
Water Valve Resistance Test
Disconnect the battery cables at the battery. Dis-
connect the electrical connector from the exhaust
water valve.
Use a digital multimeter with appropriate test
probe leads to measure the resistance between
the pins of the exhaust water valve connector.
Results:
• An infinite reading (∞) indicates an open circuit
of the pump winding.
Replace faulty exhaust water valve.
