Circuit/System Testing
Accessory Power Receptacle or Cigarette Lighter Malfunction
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate X80 Accessory Power Receptacle or at the E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle.
2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal C and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminate between the B+/ignition circuit terminal A and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+/ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate X80 Accessory Power Receptacle or at the E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle.
• If all circuits test normal, test or replace the KR76 Retained Accessory Power Relay.
Cigarette Lighter LED Malfunction
1. Disconnect the harness connector at the E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle.
2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal C 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 B 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 E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle.
