INTRODUCTION AND MASTER TROUBLESHOOTING - t+mwtions Before Service ‘I3 
DOING SERVICE WORK IN GROUPS OF TWO OR 
MORE TECHNICIANS 
If the service work is to be done by two or more technicians 
working together, extra caution must be taken. 
NOTE ON INSTALLATION OF RADIO EQUlPM$ihl- 
The computers of the electronic control system has been 
designed so that external radio waves will not interfere with 
their operation. 
However, if antenna or cable of amateur transceiver etc. is 
routed near the computers, it may affect the operation of the 
computers. even if the output of the transceiver is no more 
than 25W. 
To protect each of the computers from interference by 
transmitter (hum, transceiver, etc.). the following should be 
observed. 
1. Install the antenna on the roof or rear bumper. 
2. Because radio waves are emitted from the coaxial cable of 
the antenna, keep it 200 mm (8 in.) away from the 
computers and the wiring harness. If the cable must cross 
the wiring harness, route it so that it runs at right angles to 
the wiring harness. 
3. The antenna and the cable should be well matched, and 
the standing-wave ratio” should be kept low. 
4. A transmitter having a large output should not be installed 
in the vehicle. 
5. After installation of transmitter, run the engine at idle, emit 
radio waves from the transmitter and make sure that the 
engine is not affected. 
*STANDING-WAVE RATIO 
If an antenna and a cable having different impedances are 
connected, the input impedance Zi will vary in accordance 
with the length of the cable and the frequency of the 
transmitter, and the voltage distribution will also vary in 
accordance with the location. 
The ratio between this maximum voltage and minimum 
voltage is called the standing-wave ratio. It can also be 
represented by the ratio between the impedances of the 
antenna and the cable. 
The amount of radio waves emitted from the cable increases 
as the standing-wave ratio increases, and this increases the 
possibility of the electronic components being adversely 
affected.
