VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY (DCA)

TM 10-3930-673-20-1

Always Follow The Following Rules When Using the GO-Chain Test Sequence:

(1) Always start at GO1. Never enter the middle of a GO or NO-GO testing sequence unless directed by the flow chart.

(2) Follow each instruction in a GO-Chain Test Sequence. Do not skip any instructions or procedures.

(3) If a particular test is failed in a GO-Chain test sequence, proceed to the indicated NO-GO-Chain test sequence or to

a higher level of maintenance.

(4) After correcting a vehicle problem, repeat the testing beginning at GO1.

(5) Each GO Chain testing sequence depends upon the completion of the previous test. Do not skip any tests.

Use the GO, NO-GO flow charts for testing. As you become more familiar with the test procedures, you can use the Vehicle

Test Cards as your sole reference. The flip cards on the VTM can also be used as you become familiar with the vehicle and

STE/ICE-R equipment.

Prior to testing, make the following pre-test inspections:

Check drive belt for proper tension. Replace cracked or frayed belt.

Check for proper engine oil level. Add oil as necessary.

Check that the fuel tank has enough fuel for testing.

Check for proper engine coolant level. Add coolant as necessary.

Check that the batteries are in good condition. Check for low electrolyte level and add distilled

water as required.

Check that emergency steering pump is turned off when required by test.
