Using Connector Test Adapters

Special Tools EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools. Danger: This procedure should not be performed on high voltage circuits. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in serious injury or death.

Caution

Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the EL-35616 - GM Approved Terminal Test Probe Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. When using the EL-35616 - GM Approved Terminal Test Probe Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the EL-35616 - GM Approved Terminal Test Probe Kit label on the inside of the EL-35616 - GM Approved Terminal Test Probe Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.
