    NOTE: DO NOT  separate the solenoid connector from the wiring harness.
  2. Disconnect electrical connector at oxygen sensor and connect a jumper to a good ground. Engine speed should increase at least 50 RPM and voltmeter should indicate more than 9 volts.
  3. Hold the jumper wire with 1 hand and with the other hand, touch the battery positive terminal with the jumper wire. Engine speed should decrease at least 50 RPM and voltmeter should indicate less than 3 volts. If computer fails both tests, replace it. Reconnect oxygen sensor harness.
