5. Use other multimeter probe to measure resistance between suspect wire in ECM connector or in-line harness
connector and all other contacts in connector and also to frame ground.
a. If resistance is 10,000 ohms or greater for all measurements, harness circuit is OK.
b. If resistance is less than 10,000 ohms, a short is in circuit. Short is between suspected wire and wire with
lowest resistance. Replace wiring harness.

N OT E
The use of high-quality splice connectors is essential to ensure optimum electrical
integrity. Use the type and size of connector that is best suited to the application.
1. Inspect each end of wire (Figure 1, Item 1). Trim back insulation and metal strands (Figure 1, Item 2) of wire,
as necessary, to ensure integrity of wire.
2. Using wire stripping tool, strip each end of wire (Figure 1, Item 1) to expose length of metal strands (Figure 1,
Item 2) suitable for size of splice connector (Figure 1, Item 3).
3. Insert metal strands (Figure 1, Item 2) of each wire (Figure 1, Item 1) fully into splice connector (Figure 1, Item
3).
4. Securely crimp splice connector (Figure 1, Item 3) to metal strands (Figure 1, Item 2) and to insulation of wire
(Figure 1, Item 1).
