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.

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

Idle-Up System Check
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Turn A/C switch OFF, if equipped.
3) Turn steering wheel fully and check idle speed.
Engine idle speed drops a little momentarily when steering wheel is turned fully but returns to its specified
level immediately. If power steering pressure switch connector is connected, check the same with that con-
nector disconnected. Momentary drop of engine idle speed should be less when it is connected than when
disconnected.
Power Steering Fluid Leakage Check
Start engine and turn steering wheel fully to the right and left so that maximum hydraulic pressure is applied to
system. Then visually check gear box, P/S pump and P/S fluid reservoir respectively and each joint of hydraulic
pressure piping for leakage. During this check, however, never keep steering wheel turned fully for longer than
10 seconds.
