If the circuit has diodes, reverse the two leads and check
again.
When contacting the negative (±) lead to the diode positive
(+)
side and the positive (+) lead to the negative (±) side, there
should be continuity.
When contacting the two leads in reverse, there should be
no continuity.
HINT: Specifications may vary depending on the type of
tester, so refer to the tester's instruction manual before per-
forming the inspection.
Check LED (Light Emitting Diode) in the same manner as
that for diodes.
HINT:
wUse a tester with a power source of 3 V or greater to over-
come the circuit resistance.
wIf a suitable tester is not available, apply voltage and check
that the LED lights up.
CHECK FOR VOLTAGE
(a) Establish conditions in which voltage is present at
the check point.
Example:
(A) ± Ignition SW on
(B) ± Ignition SW and SW 1 on
(C) ± Ignition SW, SW 1, and Relay on (SW 2 off)
(b) Using a voltmeter, connect the negative (±) lead to
a good ground point or negative (±) battery terminal
and the positive (+) lead to the connector or compo-
nent terminal. This check can be done with a test
bulb instead of a voltmeter.
CHECK FOR CONTINUITY AND
RESISTANCE
(a) Disconnect the battery terminal or wire so there is
no voltage between the check points.
(b) Contact the two leads of an ohmmeter to each of
the check points.

CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUIT
(a) Remove the blown fuse and eliminate all toads from
the fuse.
(b) Connect a test bulb in place of the fuse.
(e) Establish conditions in which the test bulb comes on.
Example:
(A) ± Ignition SW on
(B) ± Ignition SW and SW 1 on
(C) ± Ignition SW, SW 1 and Relay on (Connect the
Relay) and SW 2 oft (or Disconnect SW 2)
(d) Disconnect and reconnect the connectors while
watching the test bulb.
The short lies between the connector where the test
bulb stays lit and the connector where the bulb goes
out.
(e) Find the exact location of the short by lightly shaking
the problem wire along the body. (c) Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 k
/V
minimum) for troubleshooting of the electrical circuit.
