DIAGNOSTIC CODE 3-5 (ELECTRICAL) Test 1
Test 2
Checking for an open or short in the solenoid
Checking for a short to ground in the solenoid
Figure 142 — Resistance between Pins A and B
Figure 143 — Continuity from Pin A or B to Ground (Pin A shown)
1. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. 2. Disconnect the timing solenoid from the harness. 3. Measure the resistance across the leads of the solenoid.
1. Check for continuity from either solenoid lead (pin A or B) to a good ground.
If there is continuity, replace the solenoid. Retest to be sure the problem has been corrected. If there is no continuity, proceed to Test 4.
If the resistance is between 1 and 3 ohms, proceed to Test 2. If the resistance is not between 1 and 3 ohms, repair the connector or replace the solenoid. Retest to be sure the problem has been corrected.
