Although KEY SWITCH must be on and battery ground cable connected to test electrical
circuit voltage, turn off KEY SWITCH and disconnect battery ground cable before doing
resistance tests or replacing parts. This will keep you from getting shocked and prevent
damage to parts and equipment.
CAUTION
Care must be taken when removing left lower rear molding, to prevent damaging air line.
NOTE
Scrape painted surfaces to bare metal before connecting test leads to ensure correct
multimeter readings.
