Voltage Check

TOC

Measure the voltage between the fault lamp and ground. Turn the vehicle keyswitch ON. Touch the positive (+) multimeter probe to the buzzer or lamp terminal. Touch the negative (-) multimeter probe to the chassis ground. Measure the voltage. Repeat this check for the other terminal of the buzzer or fault lamp. The multimeter

must show battery voltage. If the proper voltage is

not present, there is a problem with the keyswitch wire, or the lamp (or buzzer) has failed. Refer to the OEM troubleshooting and repair manual for repair instructions.

Connect all components when the repair is complete.
