8-2 BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The body electrical components of this vehicle are designed to operate on 12 Volts power supplied by the battery.
The electrical system utilizes negative ground polarity.
CAUTIONS IN SERVICING
When performing works related to electric systems, observe follow-
ing cautions for the purpose of protection of electrical parts and pre-
vention of a fire from occurrence.
When removing the battery from the vehicle or disconnecting the
cable from the battery terminals for inspection or service works
on the electric systems, always confirm first that the ignition
switch and all the other switches have been turned OFF. Other-
wise, the semi-conductor part may be damaged.
When disconnecting cables from the battery, be sure to discon-
nect the one from the negative (±) terminal first and then the other
from the positive (+) terminal.
Reverse the above order when connecting the cables to the bat-
tery terminals.
When disconnecting connectors, never pull the wiring harnesses.
Unlock the connector lock first and then pull them apart by holding
connectors themselves.
When connecting connectors, also hold connectors and put them
together until they lock securely (a click is heard).

When installing the wiring harness, fix it with clamps so that no
slack is left.
When installing vehicle parts, be careful so that the wiring har-
ness is not interfered with or caught by any other part.
To avoid damage to the harness, protect its part which may con-
tact against a part forming a sharp angle by winding tape or the
like around it.
When replacing a fuse, make sure to use a fuse of the specified
capacity. Use of a fuse with a larger capacity will cause a damage
to the electrical parts and a fire.
Always be careful not to handle electrical parts (computer, relay,
etc.) in a rough manner or drop them.

AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-9
Wire insulation which is rubbed through, causing an intermittent
short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
Wiring broken inside the insulation. This condition could cause a
continuity check to show a good circuit, but if only 1 or 2 strands
of a multi-strand-type wire are intact, resistance could be far too
high.
If any abnormality is found, repair or replace as a wire harness as-
sembly.
