QT8 Perform Continuous Test







- Hookup the VOM and jumper wire, or the Super STAR II, as in test step QT5 or QT6.

- Key ON.

NOTE: Use the audible warning function on the Super STAR II tester by turning the "SPKR" switch ON. You will be alerted of a continuous test fault without having to visually check the tester.

NOTE: With key ON, any coded fault recreated during the continuous test will illuminate the indicator constantly. If the key is turned OFF, then back ON without clearing codes from memory, the indicator will flash codes along with the VOM or Super STAR II, indicating a past or intermittent fault.

- Tap, move and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or harness working with short sections from the sensor to instrument panel and to anti-lock brake control module. Drive the vehicle, if necessary.

- Does the indicator illuminate continuously or is an audible warning heard from Super STAR II Tester?

YES -- Record VOM or Super STAR II diagnostic trouble codes and refer to code identification chart. Service only the codes recreated in this test step. Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index

NO -- Normal operation. If intermittent fault cannot be recreated, turn key OFF. Disconnect suspect sensor and anti-lock brake control module from harness very carefully. Visually inspect all terminals for corrosion, bad crimps, improperly seated terminals, etc. Reconnect harness connectors and reattempt continuous test.
