(d) Prepare a test male terminal and insert it in the female ter-
minal, then pull it out.
NOTICE:
When testing a gold −plated female terminal, always use a
gold −plated male terminal.
HINT:
When the test terminal is pulled out more easily than others,
there may be poor contact in that section.
6. CHECK OPEN CIRCUIT
For the open circuit in the wire harness in Fig. 1, perform ”(a)
Continuity Check” or ”(b) Voltage Check” to locate the section.
(a) Check the continuity. (1) Disconnect connectors ”A” and ”C” and measurethe resistance between them.
In the case of Fig. 2:
Between terminal 1 of connector ”A” and terminal 1
of connector ”C” → No continuity (open)
Between terminal 2 of connector ”A” and terminal 2
of connector ”C” → Continuity
Therefore, it is found out that there is an open circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ”A” and terminal 1
of connector ”C”.
(2) Disconnect connector ”B” and measure the resis- tance between the connectors.
In the case of Fig. 3:
Between terminal 1 of connector ”A” and terminal 1
of connector ”B1” → Continuity
Between terminal 1 of connector ”B2” and terminal
1 of connector ”C” → No continuity (open)
Therefore, it is found out that there is an open circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ”B2” and terminal
1 of connector ”C”.

(b) Check the voltage.
In a circuit in which voltage is applied (to the ECU connec-
tor terminal), an open circuit can be checked for by con-
ducting a voltage check.As shown in Fig. 4, with each connector still con-
nected, measure the voltage between body ground
and terminal 1 of connector ”A” at the ECU 5V out-
put terminal, terminal 1 of connector ”B”, and termi-
nal 1 of connector ”C”, in that order.
If the results are:
5V: Between Terminal 1 of connector ”A” and Body Ground
5V: Between Terminal 1 of connector ”B” and Body Ground
0V: Between Terminal 1 of connector ”C” and Body Ground
Then it is found out that there is an open circuit in the wire har-
ness between terminal 1 of ”B” and terminal 1 of ”C”.
7. CHECK SHORT CIRCUIT
If the wire harness is ground shorted as in Fig. 5, locate the sec-
tion by conducting a ”continuity check with ground”.
Check the continuity with ground. (1) Disconnect connectors ”A” and ”C” and measurethe resistance between terminal 1 and 2 of connec-
tor ”A” and body ground.
In the case of Fig. 6:
Between terminal 1 of connector ”A” and body
ground → Continuity (short)
Between terminal 2 of connector ”A” and body
ground → No continuity
Therefore, it is found out that there is a short circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ”A” and terminal 1
of connector ”C”.

(2) Disconnect connector ”B” and measure the resis-
tance between terminal 1 of connector ”A” and body
ground, and terminal 1 of connector ”B2” and body
ground.
In the case of Fig. 7:
Between terminal 1 of connector ”A” and body
ground → No continuity
Between terminal 1 of connector ”B2” and body
ground → Continuity (short)
Therefore, it is found out that there is a short circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ”B2” and terminal
1 of connector ”C”.
8. CHECK AND REPLACE ECU
First check the ECU ground circuit. If it is faulty, repair it. If it is
normal, the ECU could be faulty, so replace the ECU with a nor-
mal functioning one and check that the symptoms appear.
(1) Measure the resistance between the ECU groundterminal and the body ground.
Resistance: 1 Ω or less
(2) Disconnect the ECU connector, check the ground terminals on the ECU side and the wire harness
side for bend and check the contact pressure.
