Safety First General Safety Guidelines to Follow When Working on Vehicles • Always wear approved eye protection • Always operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated area. Do not inhale exhaust gases – they are very poisonous! • Always keep yourself, tools, and test equipment away from all moving or hot engine parts. • Always make sure the vehicle is in Park (automatic transmission) or Neutral (manual transmission) and that the parking brake is firmly set. Block the drive wheels. • Never lay tools

The TEST light TEST moves higher up the column as the signal level increases. Lights Sensor tests involve working the sensor and watching the TEST light move up, down or flash. Note that the motion of the light is more important than its actual position. Used when testing ignition modules. The PULSE

You can often Tips find the cause of many problems by just looking. • Has the vehicle been serviced recently? Sometimes things get reconnected in the wrong place, or not at all. • Don’t take shortcuts. Inspect hoses and wiring which may be difficult to see due to location. • Inspect the air cleaner and ductwork for defects. • Check sensors and actuators fo

Section 2 Testing Sensors Temperature Sensor Test Procedure Use this procedure for testing all engine coolant or inlet air temperature sensors. Exceptions: • Certain Toyota, Nissan and Ford engines using vane airflow sensors have the air temperature sensor built into the vane airflow assembly. Refer to page 2-40 for testing. • GM 1988 2.8L Mass Airflow Sensor (5 pin only) also has a built-in air tempera- ture sensor. Use same test procedure as for vane airflow temperature sensor.

THROTTLE POSITION Sensor/Switch • Sometimes a second switch is used to signal a wide open throttle condition. This switch is normally open (or closed - depends upon vehicle) when the throttle is at idle or just partially open. The switch operates when the throttle is opened beyond a certain point. (The amount of throttle opening required to operate the switch varies with vehicle.) The computer uses throttle position to determine engine How it is operating condition: idle (closed throttle), cruis
