HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
lignition switch is “OFF”,
ldoors, hood and trunk lid/back door are closed,
lpedals are not depressed, and
lparking brake is released.
Detectable Lines and Non-detectable Lines
In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires, with different weight are used.
lA line with regular weight (wider line) represents a “detectable
line for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code)”. A “detectable line for
DTC” is a circuit in which ECM can detect its malfunctions with
the on board diagnostic system.
lA line with less weight (thinner line) represents a “non-detect-
able line for DTC”. A “non-detectable line for DTC” is a circuit in
which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the on board
diagnostic system.
Multiple Switch
The continuity of multiple switch is described in two ways as shown below.
lThe switch chart is used in schematic diagrams.
