Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Pinpoint Notes

CAUTION:
^ Before removing and installing the GEM/CTM or its connectors, disconnect the battery. Failure to follow this caution will result in the GEM/CTM storing many erroneous DTCs and may result in the GEM/CTM exhibiting erratic operation after installation.
^ Be careful when probing the fuse junction panel, battery junction box or any connectors. Damage will result to the connector receptacle if the probe or terminal being used is too large.
^ Electronic modules are sensitive to electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage may result.

NOTE:
^ If continuous DTCs are recorded and the symptom is not present when carrying out the Pinpoint Tests, an intermittent concern may be the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded pins.
^ Complete the entire Pinpoint Test related to the symptom before replacing the GEM/CTM.
