WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Cadillac Seville and 2003 Cadillac DeVille. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Perform all resistance and voltage tests with a Digital Volt-ohmmeter (DVOM) with minimum 10-megohm impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedures. Ensure ignition switch is in OFF position when performing resistance tests. Use the Connector Test Adapter Kit (J-35616-A) for any test that requires probing the PCM or probing a component harness connector. Using this kit prevents damage to the harness and component terminals.
