11) Each connector number shown in the wiring diagram
corresponds to that in the wiring harness. The location of
each connector in the actual vehicle is determined by read-
ing the first character of the connector (for example, a“F”
for F8,“i”for i16, etc.) and the type of wiring harness.
The first character of each connector number refers to the
area or system of the vehicle, as indicated in table below.

1. General Description

2. Basic Diagnostics Procedures
The most important purpose of diagnostics is to determine
which part is malfunctioning quickly, to save time and labor.
A: IDENTIFICATION OF TROUBLE SYMPTOM
Determine what the problem is based on the symptom.
B: PROBABLE CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Look at the wiring diagram and check the system’s circuit.
Then check the switch, relay, fuse, ground, etc.
C: LOCATION AND REPAIR OF TROUBLE
1) Using the diagnostics narrow down the causes.
2) If necessary, use a voltmeter, ohmmeter, etc.
3) Before replacing certain component parts (switch, relay,
etc.), check the power supply, ground, for open wiring
harness, poor connectors, etc. If no problems are
encountered, check the component parts.
D: CONFIRMATION OF SYSTEM OPERATION
After repairing, ensure that the system operates properly.
G6M0206
E: INSPECTION
1. VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
1) Using a voltmeter, connect the negative lead to a good
ground point or negative battery terminal and the positive
lead to the connector or component terminal.
2) Contact the positive probe of the voltmeter on connec-
tor (A).
The voltmeter will indicate a voltage.
3) Shift the positive probe to connector (B). The voltmeter
will indicate no voltage.
With test set-up held as it is, turn switch ON. The voltme-
ter will indicate a voltage and, at the same time, the light
will come on.
4) The circuit is in good order. If a problem such as a lamp
failing to light occurs, use the procedures outlined above to
track down the malfunction.

3. Working Precautions
1. PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH THE
PARTS MOUNTED ON THE VEHICLE
1) When working under a vehicle which is jacked-up,
always be sure to use safety stands.
2) The parking brake must always be applied during work-
ing. Also, in automatic transmission vehicles, keep the
select lever set to the P (Parking) range.
3) Be sure the workshop is properly ventilated when run-
ning the engine. Further, be careful not to touch the belt or
fan while the engine is operating.
4) Be careful not to touch hot metal parts, especially the
radiator and exhaust system immediately after the engine
has been shut off.
2. PRECAUTIONS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS AND
REPAIR OF ELECTRIC PARTS
1) The battery cable must be disconnected from the bat-
tery’s () terminal, and the ignition switch must be set to the
OFF position, unless otherwise required by the diagnos-
tics.
2) Securely fasten the wiring harness with clamps and
slips so that the harness does not interfere with the body
end parts or edges and bolts or screws.
3) When installing parts, be careful not to catch them on
the wiring harness.
G6M0212
4) When disconnecting a connector, do not pull the wires,
but pull while holding the connector body.

F: CONNECTOR SKETCH
1. Each connector sketch clearly identifies the
shape and color of a connector as well as
terminal locations. Non-colored connectors
are indicated in natural color.
2. When more than two types of connector
number are indicated in a connector sketch,
it means that the same type connectors are
used.
G: GROUND
Each grounding point can be located easily by
referring to the corresponding wiring harness.
H: DIODE
A symbol is used to indicate a diode.
I: WIRE TRACING ON EXTENDED
WIRING DIAGRAMS
For a wiring diagram extending over at least two
pages, a symbol (consisting of the same charac-
ters with arrows), as shown below, facilitates
wire tracing from one page to the next.
A)A, B)B
J: SYMBOLS OF WIRE CONNECTION
AND CROSSING
Symbol Refers to wires which are
connected and branched
at the“dot”point.
Symbol Refers to wires which are
crossed but not con-
nected.
K: POWER SUPPLY ROUTING
A symbol is used to indicate the power supply in
each wiring diagram.
“MB-5”,“MB-6”, etc., which are used as power
supply symbols throughout the text, correspond
with those shown in the POWER SUPPLY
ROUTING in the wiring diagram.
Accordingly, using the POWER SUPPLY ROUT-
ING and wiring diagrams permits service per-
sonnel to understand the entire electrical
arrangement of a system.
L: S.M.J.
A symbol is used to indicate the terminal
arrangement of the super multiple junction. The
S.M.J. is not shown in respective wiring dia-
grams but is indicated on the next page.
SYMBOLS AND ABBREVIATIONS
A number of symbols and abbreviations are used
in each wiring diagram to easily identify parts or
circuits.
