select a component test from the list of available tests. For most selections two main choices are
available on the component menu:
1. COMPONENT INFORMATION—provides information on the selected component and
connector pin details that assists you in understanding the components prior to diagnosis.
2. TESTS—provides a pre-configured list of tests, guides you through performing the tests, and
offers tips and resources to reduce setup and testing time.
