Electrical diagnosis requires the right tools well as the right knowledge. Two new kits of wiring tools, engineered to GM specifications, are now available through the GM Tools and Equipment website (U.S.) at gmtoolsandequipment.com. (Fig. 1) Both kits are GM approved and designed to support proper diagnosis without damaging terminals or harnesses.

It includes a package of male terminals, two 48-inch patch cords, and eight different probes, including the EL-35616-58 probe required to probe the Nano 50 mini female connectors.
