Test Procedure

  1. If you were not directed here from Lighting chart A-1, then a wrong diagnosis could result. See 1989 SELF-DIAGNOSTICS -- ALLANTE article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
  2. Visually inspect the cavities and pins of the OSM for obvious connection problems.
  3. Checks for proper power supply to the OSM.
  4. Checks for proper ground to the OSM.
  5. Checks for proper OSM address identification.
  6. Hazard flashers will increase data line activity. Typical voltages will be between zero and 5 volts and will constantly be changing. This will help identify whether the OSM or the data line is the problem.
