The following Harness Layouts use a map style grid to help locate connectors on the drawings:
IMain Harness
IEngine Room Harness (Engine Compartment)
IEngine Control Harness
TO USE THE GRID REFERENCENBEL0131S011. Find the desired connector number on the connector list.
2. Find the grid reference.
3. On the drawing, find the crossing of the grid reference letter column and number row.
4. Find the connector number in the crossing zone.
5. Follow the line (if used) to the connector.
CONNECTOR SYMBOLNBEL0131S02Main symbols of connector (in Harness Layout) are indicated in the below.

ated).
2 Fusible linkIThe double line shows that this is a fusible link.
IThe open circle shows current flow in, and the shaded circle shows current flow out.
3Fusible link/fuse loca-
tionIThis shows the location of the fusible link or fuse in the fusible link or fuse box. For
arrangement, refer to EL-10, ªPOWER SUPPLY ROUTINGº.

IThe G/R wire is located in the 1A terminal of both connectors.
ITerminal number with an alphabet (1A, 5B, etc.) indicates that the connector is SMJ con-
nector. Refer to GI-19.
7 Optional spliceIThe open circle shows that the splice is optional depending on vehicle application.
8 SpliceIThe shaded circle shows that the splice is always on the vehicle.
9 Page crossingIThis arrow shows that the circuit continues to an adjacent page.
IThe A will match with the A on the preceding or next page.
10 Common connectorIThe dotted lines between terminals show that these terminals are part of the same con-
nector.
11 Option abbreviationIThis shows that the circuit is optional depending on vehicle application.
12 RelayIThis shows an internal representation of the relay. For details, refer to EL-7, ªSTANDARD-
IZED RELAYº.
13 ConnectorsIThis shows that the connector is connected to the body or a terminal with bolt or nut.
14 Wire colorIThis shows a code for the color of the wire.
B = Black
W = White
R = Red
G = Green
L = Blue
Y = Yellow
LG = Light GreenBR = Brown
OR = Orange
P = Pink
PU = Purple
GY = Gray
SB = Sky Blue
CH = Dark Brown
DG = Dark Green
When the wire color is striped, the base color is given first, followed by the stripe color as
shown below:
Example: L/W = Blue with White Stripe
15 Option descriptionIThis shows a description of the option abbreviation used on the page.
16 SwitchIThis shows that continuity exists between terminals 1 and 2 when the switch is in the A
position. Continuity exists between terminals 1 and 3 when the switch is in the B position.
17 Assembly partsIConnector terminal in component shows that it is a harness incorporated assembly.
18 Cell codeIThis identifies each page of the wiring diagram by section, system and wiring diagram
page number.
19 Current flow arrowIArrow indicates electric current flow, especially where the direction of standard flow (verti-
cally downward or horizontally from left to right) is difficult to follow.
IA double arrow ª
º shows that current can flow in either direction depending on cir-
cuit operation.

Incident Simulation TestsNBGI0004S02INTRODUCTIONNBGI0004S0201Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought
in for service. If possible, re-create the conditions present at the
time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble Found
Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the
conditions/environment under which the owner experiences an
electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
IVehicle vibration
IHeat sensitive
IFreezing
IWater intrusion
IElectrical load
ICold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is
important for simulating the conditions of the problem.
VEHICLE VIBRATIONNBGI0004S0202The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough
road or when engine is vibrating (idle with A/C on). In such a case,
you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to the
illustration below.
Connectors & Harness
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the
electrical system you are inspecting.Gentlyshake each connec-
tor and harness while monitoring the system for the incident you
are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor elec-
trical connection.
Hint
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin
film of corrosion on the connector terminals. A visual inspection
may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If the
problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by
corrosion. It is a good idea to disconnect, inspect and clean the
terminals on related connectors in the system.
Sensors & Relays
Gentlyapply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system
you are inspecting.
This test may indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
