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.

CHECK CHART FOR RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY
BETWEEN TERMINALS
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the engine-ECU connector.
3. Measure the resistance and check for continuity between
the terminals of the engine-ECU harness-side connector
while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
(1) When measuring resistance and checking continuity,
a harness for checking contact pin pressure should
be used instead of inserting a test probe.
(2) Checking need not be carried out in the order given
in the chart.
Caution
If the terminals that should be checked are mistaken,
or if connector terminals are not correctly shorted
to earth, damage may be caused to the vehicle wiring,
sensors, engine-ECU and/or ohmmeter.
Be careful to prevent this!
4. If the ohmmeter shows any deviation from the standard
value, check the corresponding sensor, actuator and
related electrical wiring, and then repair or replace.
5. After repair or replacement, recheck with the ohmmeter
to confirm that the repair or replacement has corrected
the problem.
