In some wiring diagrams, twokinds oflines, representing
wires, withdifferent weightareused.
• Aline with regular weight(widerline)represents a"detect-

line forDTC" isacircuit inwhich ECM(ECCS control mod-
ule) candetect itsmalfunctions withtheon-board diagnos-
tic system.
• Aline with lessweight (thinner line)represents a"non-de-
tectable lineforDTC", A"non-detectable lineforDTC" isa
circuit inwhich ECMcannot detectitsmalfunctions withthe
on-board diagnostic system.

HOWTOPERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FORANELECTRICAL INCIDENT
Incident Simulation Tests(Cont'd)
Engine compartment
There areseveral reasons avehicle orengine vibration could•
cause anelectrical complaint. Someofthe things tocheck for
are:
• Connectors notfully seated.
• Wiring harness notlong enough andisbeing stressed due
to engine vibrations orrocking.
• Wires laying across brackets ormoving components.
• Loose, dirtyorcorroded groundwires.
• Wires routed tooclose tohot components.
To inspect components underthehood, startbyverifying the
integrity ofground connections. (RefertoGROUND INSPEC-
TION described later.)Firstcheck thatthesystem isproperly
grounded. Thencheck forloose connection by
gently shaking
the wiring orcomponents aspreviously explained. Usingthe
wiring diagrams inspectthewiring forcontinuity.
Behind theinstrument panel
An improperly routedorimproperly clampedharnesscan
become pinchedduringaccessory installation. Vehiclevibra-
tion canaggravate aharness whichisrouted alongabracket
or near ascrew.
Under seating areas
An unclamped orloose harness cancause wiring tobe pinched
by seat components (suchasslide guides) duringvehicle vibra-
tion. Ifthe wiring runsunder seating areas,inspect wirerout-
ing forpossible damageorpinching.
Heating test
Do not heat above 60°C(140°F).
8GI842 HEAT
SENSITIVE
The owner's problem mayoccur during hotweather orafter car
has satforashort time.Insuch cases youwillwant tocheck
for aheat sensitive condition.
To determine ifan electrical component isheat sensitive, heat
the component withaheat gunorequivalent.
Do not heat components above
60°C
(140°F).
Ifincident occurs
while heating theunit, either replace orproperly insulatethe
component.
