I'm not aware of any break out box type tester for an IDM. The only driveway test I can think of is to swap it out with another one.

What are you wanting to test it for?
Is the truck running funny?

I've been down this road in the last couple of weeks; once on my own roach, and again on a customers'...

the only on-truck test for the IDM is ohm testing the high & low sides of the injector circuits (key OFF!)

now that's been said, lemme go find the other thread and I'll see if I can help more...

-edit-
Dood, I must be blind, or your thread is lost to the archival gnomes...
got a linkback?
