For vehicles using J1939, verify 
continuity between the 30-pin 
connector (pins C3, D2, D3) and 
the 3-pin engine or dash controller 
connector.
For vehicles using J1922, verify 
wire continuity between the 30-pin 
connector (pins B2, B3) and the 2-pin 
engine or dash controller connector. 
For vehicles using J1587, verify 
wire continuity between the 30-pin 
connector (pins G2, G3) and the 2-pin 
dash controller connector. 
Verify no continuity from serial 
communication pins to ground 
(except pin D2). Verify +12 VDC is not 
measured at any serial communication 
pin. Check for corroded or damaged 
serial communication wiring and 
connections. If a circuit fault is found, 
isolate the area needing repair 
by repeating the measurements 
at all serial communication link 
connectors.
Make repairs to serial communication 
wiring. Reconnect all connectors to the 
EC-30
™
controller and engine. Reset
any fault codes by briefly holding 
a magnet in place at the RESET 
location of the diagnostic display. 
Then rerun the power-up sequence.
