Probing From Terminal Side

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Infiniti QX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Female Terminal

There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the T pin through the notch.
Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
