COMPONENT TESTING
Before testing any of the components, perform the following checks:
•Control failure can be the result of corro- sion on connectors. Therefore, disconnect- ing and reconnecting wires will be neces- sary throughout test procedures.
•All tests/checks should be made with a VOM or DVM having a sensitivity of 20,000
•Check all connections before replacing com- ponents, looking for broken or loose wires, failed terminals, or wires not pressed into connectors far enough.
•Resistance checks must be made with power cord unplugged from outlet, and with wiring harness or connectors disconnected.
For any additional test beyond what is covered in this Component Testing section, refer to the
Tech Sheet that is supplied with the product.
