METER, ANALOGCurrent flow activates a magnetic
coil which causes a needle to
move, thereby providing a relative
display against a background
calibration.
LED (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE)
Upon current flow, these diodes
emit light without producing the
heat of a comparable light.
IGNITION COIL
Converts low±voltage DC current
into high±voltage ignition current
for firing the spark plugs.
1. SINGLE
FILAMENT
GROUND
The point at which wiring attaches
to the Body, thereby providing a
return path for an electrical circuit;
without a ground, current cannot
flow. Current flow causes a headlight
filament to heat up and emit light.
A headlight may have either a
single (1) filament or a double (2)
filament.
BATTERY
Stores chemical energy and
converts it into electrical energy.
Provides DC current for the auto's
various electrical circuits.
CAPACITOR (Condenser) A small holding unit for temporary
storage of electrical voltage.
CIRCUIT BREAKER Basically a reusable fuse, a circuit
breaker will heat and open if too
much current flows through it. Some
units automatically reset when cool,
others must be manually reset.
DIODE A semiconductor which allows
current flow in only one direction.
DIODE, ZENER A diode which allows current flow
in one direction but blocks reverse
flow only up to a specific voltage.
Above that potential, it passes the
excess voltage. This acts as a
simple voltage regulator.
FUSE A thin metal strip which burns
through when too much current
flows through it, thereby stopping
current flow and protecting a
circuit from damage.
FUSIBLE LINK A heavy±gauge wire placed in
high amperage circuits which
burns through on overloads,
thereby protecting the circuit.
The numbers indicate the cross±
section surface area of the wires. HORN
An electric device which sounds a
loud audible signal.
LIGHT Current flow through a filament
causes the filament to heat up
and emit light.
METER, DIGITAL Current flow activates one or
many LED's, LCD's, or fluorescent
displays, which provide a relative
or digital display.
MOTOR A power unit which converts
electrical energy into mechanical
energy, especially rotary motion.
CIGARETTE LIGHTER
An electric resistance heating
element.
DISTRIBUTOR, IIA Channels high±voltage current
from the ignition coil to the
individual spark plugs. 2. DOUBLE

1. NORMALLYOPENOpens and
closes circuits,

stopping (1) or
allowing (2)
current flow.

fixed resistance, placed in a circuit
to reduce voltage to a specific
value.
RESISTOR, TAPPED A resistor which supplies two or
more different non±adjustable
resistance values.
SENSOR (Thermistor) A resistor which varies its
resistance with temperature.
SHORT PIN Used to provide an unbroken
connection within a junction block.
SOLENOID An electromagnetic coil which
forms a magnetic field when
current flows, to move a plunger,
etc. SWITCH, DOUBLE THROW
A switch which continuously
passes current through one set
of contacts or the other.
SWITCH,
IGNITION A key operated switch with
several positions which allows
various circuits, particularly the
primary ignition circuit, to
become operational.
Wires are always
drawn as straight lines
on wiring diagrams.
Crossed wires (1)
without a black dot at
the junction are not
joined; crossed wires
(2) with a black dot or
octagonal (
) mark at
the junction are spliced
(joined) connections.
RELAY, DOUBLE THROW
A relay which passes current
through one set of contacts or the
other.
SENSOR, ANALOG SPEED Uses magnetic impulses to open
and close a switch to create a
signal for activation of other
components. TRANSISTOR
A solidstate device typically used
as an electronic relay; stops or
passes current depending on the
voltage applied at ªbase.º
SWITCH, WIPER PARK
Automatically returns wipers to
the stop position when the wiper
switch is turned off.
SWITCH, MANUAL SPEAKER
An electromechanical device
which creates sound waves from
current flow.
2. NORMALLY CLOSED
RESISTOR, VARIABLE OR
RHEOSTAT A controllable resistor with a
variable rate of resistance.
Also called a potentiometer or
rheostat.
2. NORMALLY
OPEN
RELAY
1. NORMALLY
CLOSED Basically, an electrically
operated switch which may
be normally closed (1) or
open (2).
Current flow through a
small coil creates a
magnetic field which either
opens or closes an
attached switch.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
This manual provides information on the electrical circuits in on vehicles b\
y dividing
them into a circuit for each system.
The actual wiring of each system circuit is shown from the point where the \
power source
is received from the battery as far as each ground point. (All circuit di\
agrams are shown
with the switches in the OFF position.)
When troubleshooting any problem, first understand the operation of the circ\
uit where
the problem was detected (see System Circuit section), the power source supplying
power to that circuit (see Power Source section), and the ground points (s\
ee Ground
Points section). See the System Outline to understand the circuit opera\
tion.
When the circuit operation is understood, begin troubleshooting of the probl\
em circuit
to isolate the cause. Use Relay Location and Electrical Routing sections t\
o find each
part, junction block and wiring harness connectors, wiring harness and wiring\
harness
connectors, splice points, and ground points of each system circuit. Internal wirin\
g for
each junction block is also provided for better understanding of connection \
within a
junction block.
Wiring related to each system is indicated in each system circuit by arrows (from

, to ). When overall connections are required, see the Overall Wiring Diagram
at the end of this manual.
