G: BREAKAGE OF HOSES
CAUTION:
Although surface layer materials of rubber
hoses have excellent weathering resistance,
heat resistance and resistance for low tem-
perature brittleness, they are likely to be dam-
aged chemically by brake fluid, battery
electrolyte, engine oil and automatic transmis-
sion fluid and their service lives are to be very
shortened. It is very important to keep thehoses free from before mentioned fluids and to
wipe out immediately when the hoses are
adhered with the fluids.
Since resistances for heat or low temperature
brittleness are gradually declining according to
time accumulation of hot or cold conditions for
the hoses and their service lives are shortening
accordingly, it is necessary to perform careful
inspection frequently when the vehicle is used
in hot weather areas, cold weather area and/or
a driving condition in which many steering
operations are required in short time. Particu-

4-3[K1F0]DIAGNOSTICS
1. Power Steering

IEach connector number shown in the wiring dia-
gram corresponds to that in the wiring harness.
The location of each connector in the actual
vehicle is determined by reading the first character
of the connector (for example, a ªFº for F8, ªiº 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.

2. Basic Diagnostics
Procedures
A: BASIC PROCEDURE
1. GENERAL
The most important purpose of diagnostics is to
determine which part is malfunctioning quickly, to
save time and labor.
2. IDENTIFICATION OF TROUBLE
SYMPTOM
Determine what the problem is based on the symp-
tom.
3. PROBABLE CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Look at the wiring diagram and check the system's
circuit. Then check the switch, relay, fuse, ground,
etc.
4. 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.
5. CONFIRMATION OF SYSTEM
OPERATION
After repairing, ensure that the system operates
properly.
B: 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 compo-
nent terminal.
2) Contact the positive probe of the voltmeter on
connector (A).
The voltmeter will indicate a voltage.

F: CONNECTOR SKETCH
IEach connector sketch clearly identifies the
shape and color of a connector as well as terminal
locations. Non-colored connectors are indicated in
natural color.
IWhen 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.

K: POWER SUPPLY ROUTING
A symbol is used to indicate the power supply in
each wiring diagram.
ªMB-5º, ªMB-6º, etc., which are used as power sup-
ply 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 person-
nel to understand the entire electrical arrangement
of a system.
L: S.M.J.
A symbol is used to indicate the terminal arrange-
ment of the super multiple junction. The S.M.J. is
not shown in respective wiring diagrams but is indi-
cated on the next page.

A number of symbols and abbreviations are used
in each wiring diagram to easily identify parts or
