Special Tools (Diagnostic)

NOTE: A scan tester plugged into ALDL may be used to read trouble codes and check voltages in system on serial data line (terminal "E", or terminal "M" on P-4 systems). This can save a great deal of time. For additional information, see SCAN TESTER USAGE  and SCAN DATA  .

Computerized engine control system is most easily diagnosed using scan tester; however, other tools may aid in diagnosing problems if a scan tester is unavailable. These tools are a tachometer, test light, ohmmeter, digital voltmeter with 10-megohm input impedance (minimum), vacuum pump, vacuum gauge, fuel injector test lights (for both TBI and PFI) and 6 jumper wires 6" long (one wire with female connectors at both ends, one wire with male connectors at both ends and 4 wires with male and female connectors at opposite ends). A test light, rather than a voltmeter, must be used when indicated by a diagnostic chart.
