DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS
Below is an equipment list with corresponding part numbers:
REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
NOTE: The rubber insulating gloves are to be worn while working on high-voltage components or high-voltage cables. They must be inspected before use and must be worn in conjunction with the leather outer glove. Any hole in the rubber glove is a potential entry point for high voltage. To inspect the glove roll it up from the open end until the lower portion of the glove begins to balloon from the resulting pressure. If the glove leaks any air it must not be used.
- Rubber insulating gloves
NOTE: The safety face shield is to be worn while working on high-voltage components or high-voltage cables.
- Safety face shield
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT:
- Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware, or equivalent scan tool with functionality described under Scan Tool Setup and Functionality.
- Rotunda Smoke Machine, Fuel Evaporative Emission System Tester 218-00001 (522) or equivalent.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT:
- Rotunda Vacuum/Pressure Tester 164-R0253 or equivalent. Range 0-101.3 kPa (0-30 in-Hg.) Resolution 3.4 kPa (1 in-Hg.)
- Fuel Pressure Test Kit 310-D009 (D95L-7211A) or equivalent
- Fuel Pressure Test Adapter 310-180 or equivalent
- Digital Multimeter (DMM) FLU77-4 or equivalent
- Spark Tester D81P-6666-A (303-D037) or equivalent
- Non-powered test lamp

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
