Component Tests: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Ford Special Service Police Sedan and 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Before beginning any service procedure in this section, refer to Safety Warnings in Service Information
WARNING:
Always disconnect the battery ground cable at the battery before disconnecting the starter motor battery terminal lead. If a tool is shorted at the starter motor battery terminal, the tool can quickly heat enough to cause a skin burn. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
Always make the Fluke 77-IV multimeter connections at the component terminal rather than at the wiring end connector. Making a connection at the wiring end connector could result in false readings because the meter will not pick up a high resistance between the wiring connector and the component.
