Pinpoint Tests: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Jaguar XK8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: When probing connectors to take measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit, part number 3548-1358-00.
NOTE: When performing electrical voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to 3 decimal places, and with an up-to-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the DMM leads into account.
NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.
