Yes Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 14.
No Go to the next step.
11 CLASSIFY NEUTRAL SWITCH OR CIRCUIT 
  • Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2.
  • Access CPP/PNP PID.
  • Verify that CPP/PNP PID changes from ON to OFF when neutral switch connector disconnected.
  • Does CPP/PNP PID change from ON to OFF?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to Step 13.
12 INSPECT NEUTRAL SWITCH 
Yes Go to Step 14.
No Replace neutral switch, then go to Step 14.
