Permanent Fault and loose connections according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.
Continue - Verification, vacuum pump
-------------------------------------------------
Checking for an open-circuit
- Ignition off.
- Check cable between vacuum pump connector terminal 2 and control module connector terminal 7S for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Continue - Verification, vacuum pump
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the vacuum pump
- Ignition off.
- Vacuum pump disconnected.
Temporarily connect a cable between vacuum pump terminal 3 and battery positive terminal and a cable between vacuum pump terminal 2 and battery negative terminal. The vacuum pump should now start.
