2A-32 - ELECTRICAL 90-830234R3 DECEMBER 1997
Direct Voltage Adaptor (DVA) Test
CAUTION
DVA checks can be made while cranking engine
with starter motor. To prevent engine from start-
ing while being cranked, all spark plugs must be
removed.
CAUTION
To protect against meter and/or component dam-
age, observe the following precautions:
INSURE that the Positive (+) meter lead is
connected to the DVA receptacle on the
meter.
DO NOT CHANGE meter selector switch posi-
tion while engine is running and/or being
“cranked”.
NOTE: Each CDM is grounded through the engine
wiring harness via the connector plug. It is not neces-
sary to have the CDM mounted on the ignition plate
for testing.
1. Remove all spark plugs.
2. Insert spark gap tool (P/N 91-63998A1) into each
spark plug boot and attach alligator clips to a
good engine ground.
3. Disconnect remote fuel line from engine.
4. Make sure all CDMs are plugged in.
