    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to E2  .
    • No  : REPAIR circuit 1203 (BK/LB). TEST the system for normal operation.
  2. E2 CHECK CIRCUITS 1001 (WH/YE) AND 1003 (GY/YE) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between the EATC module C228a-26, circuit 1001 (WH/YE), C228a-14, circuit 1003 (GY/YE) and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK to diagnose the network concern.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit 1001 (WH/YE) or 1003 (GY/YE) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
