(Contact 5 is chassis ground.)
Tests with a DC voltmeter:
14 + 5 - ignition on - Power Battery Voltage
14 + 1 - ignition on - Code input B Battery Voltage
8 + 1 - ignition on
throttle closed
idle switch closed Battery Voltage
Tests with a diode test lamp:
17 + 5 - engine running - RPM from ECU Diode must flash
7 + 5 - ignition on - road speed sensor
left front wheel turned by hand Diode must flash
Tests with an ohmmeter:
13 + 5 - - thermoswitch 800 to 1000 ohms
at 20c, 70 to 150
ohms at 80c
11 + 4 - ISV attached - ISV resistance 3 to 8 ohms
Tests for cars with air conditioning:
6 + 5 - ignition on - E87
air conditioning on Battery Voltage
2 + 5 - ignition on - N25
air conditioning on Battery Voltage
