ISSUE:
Several improvements have been made to the 1993 EVTM'S to assist Dealership Technicians in repairing electrical concerns.

ACTION:
Technicians in a number of dealerships were surveyed on ways to improve the EVTM'S before changes were made. Changes made to the 1993 EVTM'S are:

1. Voltage/Resistance values have been added to the schematics. Technicians can use these known good values when inspecting a circuit.

^ This means less trial and error with known good components.

^ Obvious troubleshooting hints that ask you to check for voltage readings have been removed.

2. More component internals will be shown, allowing you to better determine if a component is operating properly without replacing it.

3. Connector face information for each system has been moved back into the system cell directly behind the schematics.

4. Section 153 "Harness Causal Part Number" has been included for 1993. This cell will list the base part number of the wire harness by connector number. Once a technician has located a wiring concern, he can look up the connector number in Section 153 to quickly determine the causal part number to include in the repair comments.

5. A more durable cover has been added to resist wear and tear.

Please look for these changes when you receive your 1993 Manuals and send back the "WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU" form located in the front of each manual.
