CONVERSION CHART FOR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The resistance value of a temperature sensor may
test good at a certain temperature but it might be
defective at other temperatures. If in doubt, try a
new sensor.
Also remember this validates the operation of the
sensor at ambient temperature. It does not val-
idate the over temperature functionality. To test
it, the sensor could be removed from the engine/
muffler and heated with a heat gun while it is still
connected to the harness to see if the ECM will
detect the high temperature condition and gener-
ate a fault code.
When working with injectors, the resistance value
might test good while the complete current would
notflowthroughthewirewhenpulsatingcurrent
is supplied to the injector in its normal operation.
A solution would be to use a jumper wire to di-
rectly supply the injector from the VCM. If it now
works, replace the defective wire. A Noid light
(available from after-market tool/equipment sup-
pliers) may also be used to validate the injector
operation.
ECM Connectors

ECM CONNECTORS IDENTIFICATION
The most recommended and safest method to
probe ECM connector terminals is to use the ECM
adapter (P/N 420 277 010).
420277010
This tool will prevent deforming or enlarging termi-
nals which would lead to bad ECM terminal con-
tact creating intermittent or permanent problems.
Disconnect the desired 1connector from ECM and
reconnect on the tool connector. Probe required
terminals directly in the tool holes.
