Circuit/System Testing

Accessory Power Outlet or Cigar Lighter Malfunction
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate accessory power outlet or cigar lighter.
2. Test for less than 5 ohm between the ground circuit terminal listed below and ground:

* Terminal 2, Cigar Lighter
* Terminal 1, Accessory Power Outlet

• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal listed below and ground:

* Terminal 3, Cigar Lighter
* Terminal 2, Accessory Power Outlet

• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

4. Replace the accessory power outlet or cigar lighter.

Cigar Lighter LED Malfunction
1. Disconnect the harness connector at the cigar lighter.
2. Test for less than 10 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.

• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, interior lights dimmer switch on high, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.

• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

4. If all circuits test normal, replace the accessory power outlet or cigar lighter.
