3) Shift the positive probe to connector (B). The
voltmeter will indicate no voltage.
G6M0206
4) With test set-up held as it is, turn switch ON.
The voltmeter will indicate a voltage and, at the
same time, the light will come on.
5) The circuit is in good order. If a problem such
as a lamp failing to light occurs, use the proce-
dures outlined above to track down the malfunc-
tion.
2. CIRCUIT CONTINUITY CHECKS
1) Disconnect the battery terminal or connector so
there is no voltage between the check points.
Contact the two leads of an ohmmeter to each of
the check points.
If the circuit has diodes, reverse the two leads and
check again.
2) Use an ohmmeter to check for diode continuity.
When contacting the negative lead to the diode
positive side and the positive lead to the negative
side, there should be continuity.
When contacting the two leads in reverse, there
should be no continuity.
G6M0207
3) Symbol ªq-qº indicates that continuity exists
between two points or terminals. For example,
when a switch position is ª3º, continuity exists
among terminals 1, 3 and 6, as shown in table.
B6M0749
3. HOW TO DETERMINE AN OPEN
CIRCUIT
1) Voltmeter method:
An open circuit is determined by measuring the
voltage between respective connectors and
ground using a voltmeter, starting with the connec-
tor closest to the power supply. The power supply
must be turned ON so that current flows in the cir-
cuit. If voltage is not present between a particular
connector and ground, the circuit between that
connector and the previous connector is open.
G6M0208
2) Ohmmeter method:
Disconnect all connectors affected, and check con-
tinuity in the wiring between adjacent connectors.
When the ohmmeter indicates ªinfiniteº, the wiring
is open.

2. Basic Diagnostics Procedures

4. HOW TO DETERMINE A
SHORT-CIRCUIT
1) Test lamp method:
Connect a test lamp (rated at approximately 3
watts) in place of the blown fuse and allow current
to flow through the circuit. Disconnect one connec-
tor at a time from the circuit, starting with the one
located farthest from the power supply. If the test
lamp goes out when a connector is disconnected,
the wiring between that connection and the next
connector (farther from the power supply) is
shorted.
G6M0210
2) Ohmmeter method:
Disconnect all affected connectors, and check con-
tinuity between each connector and ground. When
ohmmeter indicates continuity between a particular
connector and ground, that connector is shorted.
G6M0211
3. Working Precautions
A: 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 dur-
ing working. Also, in automatic transmission
vehicles, keep the select lever set to the P (Park-
ing) range.
3) Be sure the workshop is properly ventilated
when running 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, espe-
cially the radiator and exhaust system immediately
after the engine has been shut off.
B: PRECAUTIONS IN TROUBLE
DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR OF
ELECTRIC PARTS
1) The battery cable must be disconnected from
the battery's (þ) terminal, and the ignition switch
must be set to the OFF position, unless otherwise
required by the diagnostics.
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.
4) When disconnecting a connector, do not pull
the wires, but pull while holding the connector
body.

5) Some connectors are provided with a lock. One
type of such a connector is disconnected by push-
ing the lock, and the other, by moving the lock up.
In either type the lock shape must be identified
before attempting to disconnect the connector.
To connect, insert the connector until it snaps and
confirm that it is tightly connected.
G6M0213
6) When checking continuity between connector
terminals, or measuring voltage across the termi-
nal and ground, always contact tester probe(s) on
terminals from the wiring connection side. If the
probe is too thick to gain access to the terminal,
use ªminiº test leads.
To check water-proof connectors (which are not
accessible from the wiring side), contact test
probes on the terminal side being careful not to
bend or damage the terminals.
G6M0214
7) Sensors, relays, electrical unit, etc., are sensi-
tive to strong impacts.
Handle them with care so that they are not dropped
or mishandled.
