SWITCH POSITIONS
Switches are shown in wiring diagrams as if the vehicle is in the
ªnormalº condition.
A vehicle is in the ªnormalº condition when:
lignition switch is in the ªLOCKº position,
ldoors, hood and trunk lid/back door are closed,
lpedals are not depressed, and
lparking brake is released.

DETECTABLE LINES AND NON-DETECTABLE LINES
In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires,
with different weight are used.
lA line with regular weight (wider line) represents a ªdetect-
able line for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code)º. A ªdetectable
line for DTCº is a circuit in which ECM (Engine Control Mod-
ule) can detect its malfunctions with the on-board diagnostic
system.
lA line with less weight (thinner line) represents a ªnon-detect-
able line for DTCº. A ªnon-detectable line for DTCº is a cir-
cuit in which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the
on-board diagnostic system.

REFERENCE AREA
The Reference Area of the wiring diagram contains references to
additional electrical reference pages at the end of the manual. If
connector numbers and titles are shown in the Reference Area
of the wiring diagram, these connector symbols are not shown
in the Connector Area.
Super multiple junction (SMJ)
In a wiring diagram, the SMJ connectors include a letter of the
alphabet in the terminal number. SMJ connector numbers are
shown in the Reference Area of the wiring diagram. SMJ termi-
nal arrangement can be found on the electrical reference pages
at the end of the manual. For terminal arrangement of these
connectors, refer to ªSUPER MULTIPLE JUNCTION (SMJ)º
electrical reference page at the end of the manual.

How to Probe Connectors
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result
from improperly probing of the connector during circuit checks.
The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the
procedures below using a ªTº pin. For the best contact grasp the
ªTº pin using an alligator clip.
PROBING FROM HARNESS SIDE
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed
from harness side with ªTº pin.
lIf the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM
connector, remove the rear cover before probing the ter-
minal.
lDo not probe waterproof connector from harness side.
Damage to the seal between wire and connector may
result.
PROBING FROM TERMINAL SIDE
Female Terminal
lThere is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe
each terminal with the ªTº pin through the notch.
Do not insert any object other than the same type male
terminal into female terminal.
lSome connectors do not have a notch above each terminal.
To probe each terminal, remove the connector retainer to
make contact space for probing.
Male Terminal
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a ªTº
pin.
Do not bend terminal.
