INSPECTION INSTRUMENTS
For inspection, use the following instruments:
1. Test lights
A test light consists of a 12 V bulb and lead wires. It is used to check voltages or short circuits.
CAUTION: Never use a test light for checking ECU-related circuits or ECUs.
2. Self-powered test light
A self-powered test light consists of a bulb, battery and lead wires connected in series. It is used to check continuity or grounding.
3. Jumper wire
A jumper wire is used to close an open circuit.
CAUTION: Never use a jumper wire to connect a power supply directly to a load.
4. Voltmeter
A voltmeter is used to measure the circuit voltage. Normally, the positive (red lead) probe is applied to the point of voltage measurement and the negative (black lead) probe to the body ground. Use a digital voltmeter to check for voltage drop upstream and downstream of a component.
5. Ohmmeter
An ohmmeter is used to check continuity or measure resistance of a switch or a coil. If the measuring range has been changed, the zero point must be adjusted before measurement.

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.
