 When removing the battery, be sure to disconnect the
negative cable first and then the positive cable. When
reconnecting the battery, connect the positive cable first
and then the negative cable, and replace the terminal
cover.
 When removing parts that are to be reused, be sure to
keep them arranged in an orderly manner so that they
may be reinstalled in the proper order and position.
 Whenever you use oil seals, gaskets, packing, O-rings,
locking washers, split pins, self-locking nuts, and cer-
tain other parts as specified, be sure to use new ones.
Also, before installing new gaskets, packing, etc., be
sure to remove any residual material from the mating
surfaces.
 Make sure that all parts used in reassembly are perfectly
clean.
 When use of a certain type of lubricant, bond or sealant
is specified, be sure to use the specified type.

 When disconnecting vacuum hoses, attach a tag
describing the correct installation positions so that the
hoses can be reinstalled correctly.
 After servicing fuel, oil, coolant, vacuum, exhaust or
brake systems, check all lines related to the system for
leaks.
 For vehicles equipped with fuel injection systems, never
disconnect the fuel line between the fuel pump and
injector without first releasing the fuel pressure, or fuel
can be sprayed out under pressure.
 When performing a work that produces a heat exceeding
80°C (176°F) in the vicinity of the electrical parts, remove
the heat sensitive electrical part(s) beforehand.
 Use care not to expose connectors and electrical parts
to water which will be a cause of a trouble.
 Always be careful not to handle electrical parts (com-
puter, relay, etc.) in a rough manner or drop them.

 When connecting connectors, also hold connectors and
push them together until they lock securely (a click is
heard).
 When installing the wiring harness, fix it with clamps so
that no slack is left.
 When installing vehicle parts, be careful so that the wir-
ing harness is not interfered with or caught by any other
part.
 To avoid damage to the harness, protect its part which
may contact against a part forming a sharp angle by
winding tape or the like around it.
 Be careful not to touch the electrical terminals of parts
which use microcomputers (e.g. electronic control unit
like as ECM, PCM, P/S controller, etc.). The static elec-
tricity from your body can damage these parts.

Electrical Circuit Inspection Procedure
While there are various electrical circuit inspection methods,
described 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
perform 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.
3) Using a test male terminal, check both terminals of the circuit
being 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 the following continuity check or voltage check proce-
dure, check the wire harness for open circuit and poor con-
nection with its terminals. Locate abnormality, if any.
1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just for once
1. Looseness of crimping
2. Open
3. Thin wire (single strand of wire)

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 indi-
cated, there is an open circuit between terminals B-1 and C-
1 or an abnormality 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 cir-
cuit being checked, measure voltage between each terminal
and body ground.
a) If measurements were taken as shown in the figure at the
left and results were as listed below, it means that the cir-
cuit is open between terminals B-1 and A-1.
Voltage Between
C-1 and body ground: Approx. 5V
B-1 and body ground: Approx. 5V
A-1 and body ground: 0V
b) Also, if measured values were as listed below, it means that
there is a resistance (abnormality) of such level that corre-
sponds to the voltage drop in the circuit between terminals
A-1 and B-1.
Voltage Between
C-1 and body ground: Approx. 5V
B-1 and body ground: Approx. 5V
A-1 and body ground: Approx. 3V (2V voltage drop)

Short circuit check (wire harness to ground)
1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
2) Disconnect connectors at both ends of the circuit to be
checked.
3) Measure resistance between terminal at one end of circuit
(A-1 terminal in figure) and body ground. If continuity is indi-
cated, it means that there is a short to ground between ter-
minals A-1 and C-1 of the circuit.
4) Disconnect the connector included in circuit (connector B)
and measure resistance between A-1 and body ground.
If continuity is indicated, it means that the circuit is shorted to
the ground between terminals A-1 and B-1.
Intermittent and Poor Connection
Most intermittent are caused by faulty electrical connections or
wiring, 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 terminal contact. However, cleaning the terminal with
a sand paper or the like is prohibited.
 Damaged connector body, exposing the terminals to mois-
ture and dirt, as well as not maintaining proper terminal ori-
entation with the component or mating connector. NOTE:
If the circuit to be checked is connected to other parts
(1), disconnect all connectors of those parts.
Otherwise, diagnosis will be misled.
1. To other parts

 Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Check each connector terminal in problem circuits carefully
to ensure good contact tension by using the corresponding
mating terminal.
If contact tension is not enough, reform it to increase contact
tension or replace.
 Poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Check each wire harness in problem circuits for poor con-
nection by shaking it by hand lightly. If any abnormal condi-
tion is found, repair or replace.
 Wire insulation which is rubbed through, causing an intermit-
tent 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.
Precaution For Installing Mobile Communica-
tion Equipment
When installing mobile communication equipment such as CB
(Citizens-Band)-radio or cellular-telephone, be sure to observe
the following precautions.
Failure to follow cautions may adversely affect electronic control
system.
 Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the vehicle’s
electronic control unit.
 Keep the antenna feeder more than 20 cm (7.9 in) away from
electronic control unit and its wire harnesses.
 Do not run the antenna feeder parallel with other wire har-
nesses.
 Confirm that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just once
2. Check each terminal for bend and proper alignment

Vehicle Lifting Points
When Using Frame Contact Hoist
WARNING:
 Before applying hoist to underbody, always take vehicle balance throughout service into consider-
ation. Vehicle balance on hoist may change depending on what part to be removed.
 Before lifting up the vehicle, check to be sure that end of hoist arm is not in contact with brake pipe,
fuel pipe, bracket or any other part.
 When using frame contact hoist, apply hoist as shown (right and left at the same position). Lift up
the vehicle till 4 tires are a little off the ground and make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by try-
ing to move vehicle body in both ways. Work can be started only after this confirmation.
 Make absolutely sure to lock hoist after vehicle is hoisted up.
