what does this mean?
I'm going through the flow chart on diagnosing a code14 on the 89DX. There is one set of instructions I'm not 100% sure what it means
Does that mean to make sure the terminals on the EACV itself is grounded?

RE: what does this mean?
well if u have a multi meter or anything that can read ohms and continuity it should be a breeze. if u sence ground on both sides it might be cuz it aint working properly. it should be 1 or the other on 1 side and when its time comes to kick in it then should change polarity. as for the ohms.. if it aint in the range it just means its old/replace.

Yeah, as o320 says, the diagram indicates that, when you touch the + probe of a continuity tester (or multimeter) to either terminal of the EACV and the - probe to a metallic surface of the car body frame, the tester should register no continuity (or infinitely high resistance in Ohms on the multimeter) if the EACV is good. Any detection of continuity (or measurable Ohms on the multimeter) would indicate a bad EACV. I hope this helps.
