Ford Mustang (1999-2004) Service Manual: Pinpoint Tests
CAUTION: Before removing and installing the generic electronic module (GEM) or its connectors, disconnect the battery. Failure to follow this caution will result in the GEM storing many erroneous DTCs, and it may exhibit erratic operation after installation.
CAUTION: Be careful when probing the central junction box (CJB), or any connectors.
Damage will result to the connector receptacle if the probe or terminal used is too large.
CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static discharges. If exposed to these charges, damage may result.
NOTE: If continuous DTCs are recorded and the symptom is not present when carrying out the pinpoint tests, an intermittent concern may be the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals.
Complete the entire pinpoint test related to the symptom before installing a new GEM.
