Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, connect an appropriate device to the X80 Accessory Power Receptacle.

2. Verify the device is powered by the X80 Accessory Power Receptacle.

• If the device is not powered
Refer to Circuit/System Testing

• If the device is powered

3. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate X80 Accessory Power Receptacle.

2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal C and ground.

• If greater than 10 ohms

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.

• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

• If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.

• If less than 10 ohms

3. Ignition ON.

4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuit terminal A and ground.

• If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end.

• If greater than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

• If less than 2 ohms, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse. Refer to Retained Accessory Power Malfunction Retained Accessory Power Malfunction.

• If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal A and ground.

• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

• If infinite resistance, replace the appropriate X80 Accessory Power Receptacle.

• If the test lamp illuminates

5. Replace the appropriate X80 Accessory Power Receptacle.
