Pre-troubleshooting Tests

Before troubleshooting the DTC(s) indicated by the LEDs in the position buttons of the memory switch, or before selecting
a flowchart from the troubleshooting guide on page 23-202, make the following tests to check power and ground.
NOTE:
• Be careful not to cause shorts or damage wire insulation when back-probing.
• In the tests, "column control unit" stands for "steering column control unit", mirror control unit" stands for "power
mirror control unit", seat control unit" stands for "power seat control unit".
• All connector views are from wire side of female terminals.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
• If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
• If the terminals look OK, make voltage and continuity checks at the connectors.
