0A-12 GENERAL INFORMATION

When checking connection of terminals, check its male half
for bend and female half for excessive opening and both for
locking (looseness), corrosion, dust, etc.

Before measuring voltage to check for electrical system,
check to make sure that battery voltage is 11 V or higher.
Such terminal voltage check at low battery voltage will lead
to erroneous diagnosis.
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
While there are various electrical circuit inspection methods, de-
scribed here is a general method to check its open and short circuit
by using an ohmmeter and a voltmeter.
OPEN CIRCUIT CHECK
Possible causes for the open circuit are as follows. As the cause is
in the connector or terminal in many cases, they need to be checked
particularly carefully.

Loose connection of connector.

Poor contact of terminal (due to dirt, corrosion or rust on it, poor
contact tension, entry of foreign object etc.).

Wire harness being open.
When checking system circuits including an electronic control unit
such as ECM, TCM, ABS control module, etc., it is important to per-
form careful check, starting with items which are easier to check.
1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
2) Check each connector at both ends of the circuit being checked
for loose connection. Also check lock condition of connector if
equipped with connector lock.

1. Looseness of crimping
2. Open
3. Thin wire (single strand of wire)
Check contact tension by
inserting and removing just
for once
GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-13
3) Using a test male terminal, check both terminals of the circuit be-
ing checked for contact tension of its female terminal.
Check each terminal visually for poor contact (possibly caused
by dirt, corrosion, rust, entry of foreign object, etc.).
At the same time, check to make sure that each terminal is
locked in the connector fully.
4) Using continuity check or voltage check procedure described in
the following page, check the wire harness for open circuit and
poor connection with its terminals. Locate abnormality, if any.
Continuity Check
1) Measure resistance between connector terminals at both ends
of the circuit being checked (between A-1 and C-1 in the figure).
If no continuity is indicated (infinity or over limit), that means that
the circuit is open between terminals A-1 and C-1.
2) Disconnect the connector included in the circuit (connector-B in
the figure) and measure resistance between terminals A-1 and
B-1.
If no continuity is indicated, that means that the circuit is open
between terminals A-1 and B-1. If continuity is indicated, there
is an open circuit between terminals B-1 and C-1 or an ab-
normality in connector-B.
Voltage Check
If voltage is supplied to the circuit being checked, voltage check can
be used as circuit check.
1) With all connectors connected and voltage applied to the circuit
being checked, measure voltage between each terminal and
body ground.

1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just once
2. Check each terminal for bend and proper alignment
GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-15
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTION
Most intermittent are caused by faulty electrical connections or wir-
ing, although a sticking relay or solenoid can occasionally be at
fault. When checking it for proper connection, perform careful
check of suspect circuits for:

Poor mating of connector halves, or terminals not fully seated in
the connector body (backed out).

Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. The terminals must be clean
and free of any foreign material which could impede proper termi-
nal contact. However, cleaning the terminal with a sand paper or
the like is prohibited.

Damaged connector body, exposing the terminals to moisture
and dirt, as well as not maintaining proper terminal orientation
with the component or mating connector.

Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Check each connector terminal in problem circuits carefully to en-
sure good contact tension by using the corresponding mating ter-
minal.
If contact tension is not enough, reform it to increase contact ten-
sion or replace.

Poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Check each wire harness in problem circuits for poor connection
by shaking it by hand lightly. If any abnormal condition is found,
repair or replace.

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
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.
