 Never connect any tester (voltmeter, ohmmeter, or what-
ever) to electronic control unit when its coupler is dis-
connected. Attempt to do it may cause damage to it.
 Never connect an ohmmeter to electronic control unit
with its coupler connected to it. Attempt to do it may
cause damage to electronic control unit and sensors.
 Be sure to use a specified voltmeter / ohmmeter. Other-
wise, accurate measurements may not be obtained or
personal injury may result.
 When taking measurements at electrical connectors
using a tester probe (2), be sure to insert the probe from
the wire harness side (backside) of the connector (1).
 When connecting meter probe (2) from terminal side of
coupler (1) because it can’t be connected from harness
side, use extra care not to bend male terminal of coupler
of force its female terminal open for connection.
In case of such coupler as shown connect probe as
shown to avoid opening female terminal.
Never connect probe where male terminal is supposed
to fit.
 When checking connection of terminals, check its male
half for bend and female half for excessive opening and
both for locking (looseness), corrosion, dust, etc.
 Before measuring voltage to check for electrical system,
check to make sure that battery voltage is 11V or higher.
Such terminal voltage check at low battery voltage will
lead to erroneous diagnosis.

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.

 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.
