HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The causes of a high frequency of problems occurring in electronic circuitry are generally the connectors,
components, the ECU and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures
follow this order, and they first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

dures.

3. Detailed inspection procedures (methods)
such as component inspection andcircuit
inspection are listed on a separate page, and
are given here for reference.
5. Inspect the contact condition at each connectorterminal.
(Refer to Connector Inspection Service Points.)
The connector position can be located in the wiring diagram in the
electrical wiring manual bymeans ofthis symbol.
Caution
After carrying out connector inspection, always be sure to
reconnect the connector as it was before.
6. Confirm that there are trouble symptoms. If trouble symptomshave
disappeared, the connector may have been inserted incorrectly and the
trouble symptom mayhave disappeared during inspection.
If it seemsthat trouble symptoms still remain, proceed to the nextpage of
instructions.
7. If trouble symptoms still remain up to this stage, there is a possibility that there is an
open orshort circuit in the harness between the connectors, socheck the harness.
Alternatively, the cause may be a defectiveECU, so try replacing the ECU andcheck
if the trouble symptom disappears.

HARNESS INSPECTION
Check for an open or short circuit in the harness between the terminals which were defective according
to the connector measurements. Carry out this inspection while referring to the electrical wiring manual.
Here, “Check harness between power supply and terminal xx” also includes checking for blown fuses.
For inspection service points when there is a blown fuse, refer to “Inspection Service Points for a Blown
Fuse.”
MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLACING THE ECU
If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even after replacing the ECU, repeat the inspection procedure
from the beginning.

6. Inspection of the SRS-ECU harness connector should be carried out by the following procedure.
Insert the special tool (probe, MB991222, in the harness set) into the connector from harness side
(rear side), and connect the tester to this probe. If any tool than specified is used, damage to the
harness and other components will result. Furthermore, measurement should not be carried out by
touching the probe directly against the terminals from the front of the connector. The terminals are
plated to increase their conductivity, so that if they are touched directly by the probe, the plating
may break, which will cause drops in reliability.

Inspection procedure 3
The SC warning lamp does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to ON (engine stopped).
Probable cause
When the ignition switch is turned on, the SC-ECU starts to communicate with
the engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU. Then the SC-ECU will illuminate the SC
warning lamp if the engine speed is 350 rpm or less. If the SC warning lamp
does not illuminate, the case is probably an open circuit in the SC warning lamp
power supply circuit, a blow lamp bulb or an open circuit between the SC
warning lamp and the SC-ECU.DBlown fuse
