Troubleshooting

Tips and Precautions

Before Troubleshooting

• Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse box.

• Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and

clean and tight connections.

• Check the alternator belt tension.

CAUTION:

• Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery

ground cable has been disconnected.

Otherwise you will damage the alternator

diodes.

• Do not attempt to crank the engine with the bat-

tery ground cable loosely connected or you will

severely damage the wiring.

Handling Connectors

• Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose

wire terminals.

• Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with

grease (except watertight connectors).

• All connectors have push-down release type locks.

LOCKING TAB

Some connectors have a clip on their side used to at-

tach them to a mount bracket on the body or on

another component. This clip has a pull type lock.

Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected

unless you first release the lock and remove the con-

nector from its bracket.

BRACKET
• Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their

wires; pull on the connector halves instead.

• Always reinstall plastic covers.

• Before connecting connectors, make sure the ter-

minals are in place and not bent.

BENT TERMINAL

Check for loose retainer and rubber seals.

• The backs of some connectors are packed with

grease. Add grease if needed. If the grease is con-

taminated, replace it.ProCarManuals.com

Five-step Troubleshooting

1. Verify The Complaint

Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to

verify the customer complaint. Note the symp-

toms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you

have narrowed down the problem area.

2. Analyze The Schematic

Look up the schematic for the problem circuit.

Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by

tracing the current paths from the power feed

through the circuit components to ground. If

several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or

ground is a likely cause.

Based on the symptoms and your understanding of

the circuit operation, identify one or more possible

causes of the problem.

3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit

Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made

in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple pro-

cedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test

for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to make

tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem

Once the specific problem is identified, make the

repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe

procedures.

5. Make Sure The Circuit Works

Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all

modes to make sure you've fixed the entire pro-

blem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to

test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure no

new problems turn up and the original problem

does not recur.ProCarManuals.com
