ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
Jumper wire
·A jumper wire is used to create a temporary
circuit. Connect the jumper wire between the
terminals of a circuit to bypass a switch.

Caution

·Do not connect a jumper wire from the

power source line to a body ground. This
wiring harnesses or electronic
components.

Voltmeter
·The DC voltmeter is used to measure circuit
voltage. A voltmeter with a range of 15V or more
is used by connecting the positive (+) probe (red
lead wire) to the point where voltage will be
measured and the negative (-) probe (black lead
wire) to a body ground.




Ohmmeter
·The ohmmeter is used to measure the resistance
between two points in a circuit and to inspect for
continuity and short circuits.
Caution
·Do not connect the ohmmeter to any

circuit where voltage is applied. This will

damage the ohmmeter.

TOWING

TOWING
·Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. Government and

local laws must be followed.

·A towed vehicle should have its front wheels off the ground. If excessive damage or other

conditions prevent this, use wheel dollies.

·When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking brake.

Caution
·Do not two the vehicle backward with
driving wheels on the ground. This may
cause internal damage to the transaxle.

Caution
·Do not tow with sling-type equipment.

This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.

Caution
·Do not use the hook loops under the
front and rear for towing. They are
designed ONLY for tying down the
vehicle when it is being transported.

TOWING HOOKS
Caution
·The towing hooks should be used only in an emergency(to get the vehicle out of a

ditch or a snow bank, for example).

·when using the towing hooks, always pull the cable or chain in a straight direction

with respect to the hook. Apply no sideways force.
