4) When tester indicates 12 volts when its probe reaches
point“A”, a broken circuit occurs between point“A”and the
negative terminal. Slowly move tester probe toward the
negative terminal while contacting it on heat wire to locate
point where tester indication changes abruptly (0 volts).
This is the point where a broken circuit occurs.
When tester indicates 0 volts when its probe reaches point
“A”, a broken circuit occurs between point“A”and the posi-
tive terminal. Locate a point where tester indication
changes abruptly (12 volts) while slowly moving tester
probe toward the positive terminal.

1) Clean broken wire and its surrounding area.
2) Cut off slit on (used) thin film by 0.5 mm (0.020 in) width
and 10 mm (0.39 in) length.
3) Place the slit on glass along the broken wire, and
deposit conductive silver composition (DUPONT No. 4817)
on the broken portion.
4) Dry out the deposited portion.
5) Inspect the repaired wire for continuity.

Read the ABS sensor output corresponding to the faulty
system in the select monitor function mode.
NOTE:
The select monitor display shows that the front right wheel
is rotating at 30 km/h.
: Does the speed indicated on the display
change in response to the speedometer
reading during acceleration/deceleration
when the steering wheel is in the straight-
ahead position?
: Go to step10H2.
: Go to step10H5.
