6-Pin Connector Check

  1. Connect 6-pin connector to computer. See Figure. Turn ignition switch on. Connect voltmeter positive lead to cavity "D" of computer. Attach negative lead to ground.
  2. A reading of at least 9.5 volts should be indicated. If so, proceed to next check. If not, slightly shake or wiggle connector assembly. If problem continues, replace 6-pin connector.
NOTE: Testing has already established that you have power to the 6-pin connector, as well as, continuity between terminal 11 of computer and connector for ignition coil positive terminal. If there is no voltage at positive connector terminal, the 6-pin connector must be at fault.
