Troubleshooting

Tips and Precautions

Before Troubleshooting

Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay

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 battery

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 waterproof connectors).

All connectors have push-down release type locks.

LOCKING TAB

Some connectors have a clip on their side used to

attach 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 mount 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 termi-

nals 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 necessary. If the grease is con-

taminated, replace it.

Troubleshooting

Tips and Precautions (cont'd)

Insert the connector all the way and make sure it is

securely locked.

Position wires so that the open end of the cover faces

down.

Handling Wires and Harnesses

Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with

their respective wire ties at the designated locations.

Remove clips carefully; don't damage their locks.

Slip pliers under the clip base and through the hole at

an angle, then squeeze the expansion tabs to release the

clip.

SNAP-RING PLIERS

After installing harness clips, make sure the harness

doesn't interfere with any moving parts.

Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust pipes and

other hot parts, from sharp edges of brackets and

holes, and from exposed screws and bolts.
Seat grommets in their grooves properly.

NOT GOOD

Testing and Repairs

Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation.

Replace them or repair them by wrapping the break

with electrical tape.

After installing parts, make sure that no wires are

pinched under them.

When using electrical test equipment, follow the

manufacturer's instructions and those described in

this manual.

If possible, insert the probe of the tester from the

wire side (except waterproof connector).

Use a probe with a tapered tip.

Refer to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for

identification and replacement of connector termi-
