Resistance Inspection

CAUTION:
  • If a tester lead is inserted forcefully into a terminal during resistance measurement, the terminal may deform and cause a decrease in the contact pressure between terminals while the connector is connected. When measuring resistance, attach a tapered lead or wire to the tester lead and lightly touch the terminal with the tip.

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Remove the fuel pump resister. (See FUEL PUMP RESISTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
  3. Verify that the continuity between the fuel pump resister terminal A and B is within the specification.
