Continuous Monitor Test

NOTE: DO NOT activate Self-Test unless specifically instructed.

This test monitors ECA inputs for shorts and opens. Self-test output will be activated when an intermittent fault is detected. A detected fault is indicated by a 10.5 volt or greater deflection of the volt/ohmmeter. One or both of the following modes may be used to find the intermittent fault:
- Key On-Engine Off - With self-test deactivated, turn ignition switch on.
- Engine Running - Activate self-test and perform Engine Running Self-Test. After service code output has finished, do not turn engine off or deactivate self-test. About 2 minutes after code 11 has been displayed, Continuous Monitor test will start. It will run until jumper or STAR tester is removed, or engine is turned off.
  NOTE: An alternate method of entering this test with engine running is to enter Engine Running test, exit, and re-enter Engine Running test. DO NOT turn engine off.
Observe volt/ohmmeter while moving, wiggling, tapping the system harness, connectors and sensors. If an intermittent condition is created, the monitor will indicate this by storing a service code.
Perform Key On-Engine Off Self-Test to retrieve codes. If any codes are indicated, go to proper test as shown in Continuous Test table. If no codes appear, the fault is not in a monitored EEC sensor circuit. EEC testing is complete. Refer to Test J for additional symptom diagnostic information.

NOTE: Continuous test can only be run once without turning ignition off. DO NOT miss any of the service codes.
