- If the voltage measurement is between 4 and 6 volts, refer to "40.2.4 Check for Signal Open" .
Section 40.2.4
Check for Signal Open
Perform the following steps to check for signal open.
- Turn the ignition OFF.

- Install a jumper wire between sockets 1 and 2 of the OPS/EOP Sensor harness connector.
- Measure resistance between sockets E-15 and E-31 on the Engine Harness connectors.
- If the resistance measurement is less than or equal to 5 Ω, refer to "40.2.7 Check for Short to Battery + and Ground" and go to step 4 .
- If the resistance measurement is greater than 5 Ω or open, the signal line (E-31) is open. Repair the open and refer to "40.2.7.1 Verify Repairs" .

Section 40.2.5
Check for Open +5 Volt Line
Perform the following steps to check for open +5 volt line.
- Turn the ignition OFF. Disconnect the Engine Harness connectors at the ECM/ECU.
- Install a jumper wire between pins 1 and 3 of the OPS/EOP Sensor connector.
- Measure resistance between sockets E-15 and E-12 on the Engine Harness connector. See Figure
"ECM/ECU Engine Harness/Vehicle Harness Connector"
.
- If the resistance measurement is less than or equal to 5 Ω, refer to "40.2.6 Check for Short" .
- If the resistance measurement is greater than 5 Ω or open, the engine +5 volt line (E-12) is open. Repair the open and refer to "40.2.7.1 Verify Repairs" .

Check for Short
Perform the following steps to check for a short.
- Remove jumper wire.
