^ Page 8A-50-10 of the G Service Manual
The fourth box down on the left side of Chart # 1 currently contains the following information:
^ Using J 39200 digital voltmeter set to ohms scale, check resistance from DLC terminal 16 to ground, then DLC terminal 4 to ground. Are readings less than 5 ohms?
This step (which is checking that the two Data Link Connector grounds are OK) should read as follows:
^ Using J 39200 digital voltmeter set to ohms scale, check resistance from DLC terminal 5 to ground, then DLC terminal 4 to ground. Are readings each less than 5 ohms?

- • 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.
