B HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
The ground points circuit diagram shows the connections from all major parts to the respective ground points. When
troubleshooting a faulty ground point, checking the system circuits which use a common ground may help you identify
the problem ground quickly. The relationship between ground points (
EA, IB and IC shown below) can also be
checked this way.

3. WATER SPRINKLING METHOD: When the malfunc-
tion seems to occur on a rainy day or in highhumidity.
(a) Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check if the malfunc-
tion occurs.
NOTICE:
Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compart-
ment. Indirectly change the temperature and humid-
ity by applying water spray onto the front of the radia-
tor.
Never apply water directly onto electronic compo-
nents.
HINT:
If the vehicle has or had a water leakage problem, the leakage
may have damaged the ECU or connections. Look for evidence
of corrosion or shorts. Proceed with caution during water tests.
4. HIGH ELECTRICAL LOAD METHOD: When a malfunc-
tion seems to occur when electrical load is exces-
sive.
(a) Turn on all the electrical loads including the heater blower,
headlights, rear window defogger, etc., and check if the
malfunction occurs.
