The majority of output devices switch to ground, IE they have power ( 5 or 12V depending on the application) on one side and the PCM switches the ground on and off to control the circuit.
If you dont have the book, PM me and I will send you a scan out of my 1995 manual. Sadly I am not able to post the scans to the forum, but am willing to email them to anyone who needs them.

That is excellent Jeff. Thanks.
I have both books. I will look up that troubleshoot logic tree in the skinny book. Thanks. Narrowing it down to the skinny book helps lots.

I gave you a Thanks for that.
