Continuous Monitor (Wiggle) Test

NOTE: Make sure that Self-Test is deactivated. DO NOT  activate Self-Test unless specifically instructed to do so.
  1. This test monitors ECA inputs for shorts and opens. Self-Test output will be activated when a fault is detected. A detected fault is indicated by a 10.5 volt or greater deflection on VOM. One or both of the following modes may be used to find intermittent fault:
    • Key On/Engine Off (KOEO): Self-Test deactivated and ignition switch ON.
    • Key On/Engine Running (KOER): Self-test activated. After service code output has finished, DO NOT  turn engine off or deactivate Self-Test. About 2 minutes after code 11 has been displayed, Continuous Monitor test mode will start. It will run until Self-Test is deactivated or engine is turned off.
      NOTE: An alternate method of entering this test with engine running is to enter KEY ON-ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST  , exit, and re-enter Engine Running test. DO NOT  turn engine off.
  2. Observe VOM while moving, wiggling, and tapping the system harness, connectors, and sensors. If an intermittent condition is created, the monitor will indicate this by storing a service code.
  3. Perform KEY ON-ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST  to retrieve codes. If any codes are indicated, go to proper test as shown in Continuous Test table. If no codes appear, the fault is not in a monitored EEC sensor circuit. EEC testing is complete. Refer to DIAGNOSTICS BY SYMPTOM - TEST X  for additional testing information.
NOTE: Continuous test can only be run once without turning ignition off. DO NOT  miss any of the service codes.
