HOW TO USE THIS SECTION
Information regarding removal and installation of electrical equipment is given in SECTION 14.
Understanding will be easier if this section is used in conjunction with the WIRING DIAGRAMS.

ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
Test Light
The test light, as shown in the figure, uses a 12V bulb.
The two leads should be connected to probes. The
test light is used for simple voltage checks and to
check for short circuits.
Caution
When checking the control unit, never use a
bulb over 3.4W.
69G15X-002
Jumper Wire
The jumper wire is used for testing by short-circuiting
switch terminals and to verify the condition of ground
connections.
Caution
Do not connect the jumper wire between a
power source line and body ground, because
doing so may cause burning or other damage
to harnesses or electronic components, etc.
61G15X-002
Voltmeter
The DC voltmeter is used for measurement of circuit
voltage. A voltmeter with a range of 15V or more is
used. It is used by connecting the positive (+) probe
(red lead) to the point where voltage is to be meas-
ured and connecting the negative (-) probe (black
lead) to the body ground.

Ohmmeter
The ohmmeter is used to measure the resistance be-
tween two points in a circuit, and is also used to check
for continuity and diagnosis of short circuits.
Caution
Do not attempt to connect the ohmmeter to
any circuit to which voltage is applied, be-
cause doing so may burn or otherwise dam-
age the ohmmeter.
PRECAUTION
Wiring Color Code
Two-color wires are indicated by a 2-letter symbol.
The first letter indicates the base color of the wire and
the second indicates the color of the stripe.

ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS
Switches and Relays
There is an NC (normally closed) and NO (normally open) indication for switches and relays; this indi-
cates the condition when there has been no change of operating conditions.

INSPECTION
1. Check for continuity or the resistance between the
terminals in each position with an ohmmeter.
2. If the continuity or resistance is not as specified,
replace the switch.

2. If continuity is not as specified, replace the switch
or replace the light(s).
Defroster switch
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Push the defroster switch to ON, and check the
lights for lighting.
3. If the lights do not light, replace the lights.
4. Check that the switch goes off after 15 min from
switch ON.
5. Check the voltage between each terminal and a
body ground.

6. If the voltage of "d" terminal is 12V with switch off
but not OV with switch on, replace the defroster
switch.
If the voltage of "d" terminal is not 12V with switch
off, trouble is in defroster relay or harness.
If the voltages of the other terminals are not cor-
rect, trouble is in the other parts or harness.
