  3. Remove the cover (D), then disconnect the 5P connector (E) from the imoes unit.
  4. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

    If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.

    If the terminals look OK, make the following input tests at the connector.

    • If a test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, the imoes unit must be faulty; replace it.
