INSPECTION
Referring 
to 
the
wiring 
diagram 
check 
the
wiring
harness
for 
connection 
with 
electrical
equipment 
and
connector 
for 
conned 
ion 
and 
installation 
When
checking
the
wiring 
harness
note 
the
following 
matters
Connected 
unit 
should
not 
be
loose 
rusted 
or
contaminated
2
Cable 
insulator 
cover 
should 
not 
be
damaged 
crack
ed 
or
insulating 
material
should 
not 
be 
deteriorated
3 
For 
those
parts 
which
are
grounded 
through 
the
installation
bolts 
the 
bolts 
should 
be 
in 
contact 
with 
the
body 
completely 
so 
that
continuity 
is
provided 
in
between 
the
body 
and 
bolts
4 
Terminals
of 
unit
through 
which
current 
flows
should 
not 
come
into 
contact 
with
other 
metal
parts
5 
No
erroneous 
connection 
should 
be
present
DESCRIPTION
When 
an 
overcunent
exceeding 
the 
rated
amperage
flows 
to 
a 
circuit 
the
fuse 
is 
heated 
and 
melted 
the
circuit 
is
interrupted 
and
thus 
cables 
and
electrical
equipment 
are
protected 
from
damaging 
due 
to
burning 
or
damaging 
is
limited 
to 
the
minimum 
This 
vehicle
is
equipped 
with 
six
fuses 
and
one 
fusible 
link 
The 
fuses
are
located
in 
the
fuse 
box 
and 
used
to
protect 
illumination
signal 
and 
other
systems 
and 
the 
fusible 
link 
is
adopted
in 
the 
cable 
between 
the
battery 
and 
alternator 
to
protect
the
charging 
and
starting 
circuits

Cables 
should 
be
damped 
so 
that
they 
do 
not 
come
into 
contact 
with
sharp 
corner 
or
part 
lernperature 
of
which
rises
highly
7 
Cables 
should 
be
securely 
clamped 
in
posItions
sufficiently 
separated 
from
rotating 
parts 
such 
as 
fan
pulley 
fan 
belt
etc
8 
Cables 
should 
be
provided 
with 
an
optimum 
extra
length 
at 
sections
stationarity 
on 
the
body 
or 
at 
sections
where 
vibration
occurs 
due 
to
engine 
operation 
and
others
Note 
a 
When
inspecting 
or
performing 
other 
mainte
nance
service 
and 
no
power 
supply 
is
required
particularly 
or 
when 
it 
is

In 
no

INSPECTION
In 
the
most
cases 
fuse 
can 
be
checked
visually
However 
when
it 
is 
difficult 
to
check
visually 
a 
circuit
tester
may 
be 
used
The 
fusible 
link 
can
be
inspected
visually 
or
by
feeling 
on
finger
tip 
However 
the 
fusible
link 
can 
be
inspected 
more
correctly
by 
using 
a 
circuit

is 
measured 
with 
the
