2. Disconnect the choke solenoid.
3. Set a Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter (VOM) to measure DC
voltage.
4. Refer to Figure 132. Connect the positive meter test lead
to Pin 1 (Wire 14) of the female side of the CS connector
going to the control panel and connect the negative meter
test lead to Pin 2 (Wire 90).

5. Set the AUTO-OFF-MANUAL switch to MANUAL. While
cranking, the VOM should indicate battery voltage
cyclically.
a. If the VOM did NOT indicate battery voltage, verify
CONTINUITY of Wire 90 between the connector Pin
1 J4 (Wire 90) and verify CONTINUITY of Wire 14
between the connector Pin 9 J4 (Wire 14). Repair or
replace any wiring as needed.
b. If the VOM indicated a cyclical battery voltage proceed
to Step 6.

6. Set a VOM to measure resistance.
7. Connect one meter test lead to Pin 1(Wire 14) on the male
side of the CS connector and the other meter test lead to
Pin 2 (Wire 90), measure and record the resistance.
8. Reconnect the choke solenoid.
