3. CHECK SHORT CIRCUIT
(a) If the wire harness is ground shorted as shown in Fig. 5,
locate the section by conducting a continuity check with
the body ground in step (b).
(b) Check the continuity with the body ground.
(1) Disconnect connectors A and C and measure the
resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of connector
A and the body ground.
Resistance: 10 k or higher
HINT:
Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness
vertically and horizontally.
In the case of Fig. 6:
Between terminal 1 of connector A and body
ground Continuity (short)
Between terminal 2 of connector A and body
ground No continuity
Therefore, the cause is a short circuit between ter-
minal 1 of connector A and terminal 1 of connector
C.
(2) Disconnect connector B and measure the resis-
tance between terminal 1 of connector A and the
body ground, and terminal 1 of connector B2 and
the body ground.
In the case of Fig. 7:
Between terminal 1 of connector A and body
ground No continuity
Between terminal 1 of connector B2 and body
ground Continuity (short)
Therefore, the cause is a short circuit between ter-
minal 1 of connector B2 and terminal 1 of connector
C.

SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
HINT:
The diagnostic system in AVENSIS has various functions. The first function is the Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) Check, in which a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU is stored in code form in
the ECU memory. Another function is the Input Signal Check, which checks if the signals from various
switches are sent to the ECU correctly. By using these check functions, it is possible to quickly narrow
down potential problem areas and troubleshooting can be performed effectively. The diagnostic func-
tions are incorporated in the following systems in the AVENSIS.

In the DTC check, it is very important to determine whether the problem indicated by the DTC is still
occurring or has occurred in the past but returned to normal at present. In addition during the problem
symptom check, it a check must be made on whether the malfunction indicated by the DTC is directly
related to the problem symptom or not. For this reason, the DTC should be checked before and after
symptom confirmation to determine the current conditions. If this is not done, it may, depending on the
case, result in unnecessary troubleshooting for systems that are operating normally. This would make
more difficult to detect the problem area or to try to repair irrelevant areas. Therefore, always follow
the procedures in the correct order and perform the DTC check.
A flow chart showing how to proceed with troubleshooting using the diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
check is shown the this page. This flow chart shows how to utilize the DTC check effectively. Then,
by carefully checking the results, this chart indicates how to proceed either to the DTC troubleshooting
or to the troubleshooting of the problem symptoms table.

SYMPTOM SIMULATION
HINT:
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when no symptoms occurs. In such cases, a thorough customer
problem analysis must be carried out. Then the same or similar conditions and environment in which the
problem occurred in the customer's vehicle should be simulated. No matter how much experience a techni-
cian has, or how skilled he may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without confirming the problem symptoms,
he will tend to overlook something important in the repair operation and make a wrong guess somewhere,
which will only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only occurs when the engine is cold,
or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during driving, etc., the problem can never
be determined when the engine is hot or when the vehicles is at a standstill. Since vibration, heat or water
penetration (moisture) is a likely cause for the problem which is difficult to reproduce, the symptom simulation
tests introduced here are effective measures in a point that the external causes are applied to the vehicle
in a stationary condition.
Important points in the symptom simulation test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should be confirmed, and the problem area or parts
must also be discovered. To do so, reduce the possible problem circuits according to the symptoms before
starting this type of test and have the hand±held tester connected beforehand. After that, carry out the symp-
tom simulation test, judging whether the circuit being tested is defective or normal and also confirming the
problem symptoms at the same time. Refer to the problem symptoms table of each system to narrow down
the possible causes of the symptom.
1. VIBRATION METHOD: When vibration seems to be
the major cause.
(a) PART AND SENSOR
(1) Apply slight vibration with your finger to the part of
the sensor considered to be the problem cause and
check whether the malfunction occurs.
HINT:
Applying strong vibration to relays may result in open relays.
(b) CONNECTORS
(1) Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizon-
tally.
(c) WIRE HARNESS
(1) Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and hori-
zontally.
The connector joint and fulcrum of the vibration are
the major areas that should be checked thoroughly.
2. HEAT METHOD: If the problem seems to occur when
the area in question is heated.
(a) Heat the component that is the possible cause of the mal-
function with a hair dryer or similar object. Check if the
malfunction occurs.
NOTICE:
Do not heat the components to more than 60C
(140F) (Temperature is limited to keep the compo-
nents from being damaged).

(3)Even in the case of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the horn button assembly, instrument panel passenger airbag assembly and seat belt pretensioner should be in\
spected
(See pages 60±19, 60±19 and 61±9).
(4)Never use the SRS related parts from another vehicle. When replacing the part\
s, replace them with new parts.
(5)Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if there is a possibility of sh\
ock during repairs.
(6)Never disassemble and repair the center airbag sensor assembly, side airbag sensor assembly, horn button assembly, instrument panel passenger airbag assembly, front seat airbag assembly,
curtain shield airbag assembly or seat belt pretensioner.
(7)If the center airbag sensor assembly, the side airbag sensor assembly, the horn button assembly, the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly have been dropped, or if the\
re are cracks,
dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector, replace them with new ones.
(8)Do not directly expose the airbag sensor assembly, the side airbag sensor assembly, the horn button assembly, the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly or the seat belt pretensioner
to hot air or flames.
(9)Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 k /V minimum) for troubleshooting electrical cir-
cuits.
(10)Information labels are attached to the SRS components. Follow the instru\
ctions on the notices.
(11)After work on the supplemental restraint system is completed, check the SRS w\
arning light (See page 05±1184)
(b)SPIRAL CABLE (in Combination Switch)(1)The steering wheel must be fitted correctly to thesteering column with the spiral cable at the neutral
position, otherwise cable disconnection and other
troubles may occur. Refer to page 60±26 of this
manual concerning the correct installation of the
steering wheel.
(c) HORN BUTTON ASSEMBLY (with Airbag) (1) When removing the horn button assembly or handling a new horn button, it sho\
uld be placed withthe top of the pad surface facing upward. Placing it with the pad surface facing downward may
lead to a serious accident if the airbag deploys for some reasons. Also, do \
not place anything
on top of the horn button.
(2) Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib (This may cause the airbag to inflate, which is very dangerous).
(3) Grease should not be applied to the horn button assembly, and the pad should not be cleaned with any type of detergent.
(4) Store the horn button assembly where the ambient temperature remains below 93 C (200 F),
without high humidity and away from electrical noise.
(5) When using electric welding, disconnect the airbag connector (4 yellow pins\
) under the steering column near the combination switch connector before starting work.

(8) Oil or water should not be put on the front seat outer belt and the front seat outer belt should be
cleaned with the appropriate detergents.
(i) AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
(1) Never reuse the airbag sensor assembly involved in a collision where the SRS has deployed.
(2) The connectors to the airbag sensor assembly should be connected or disconnected with the
sensor mounted on the floor. If the connectors are connected or disconnected while the airbag
sensor assembly is not mounted to the floor, it could cause an undesired ignition of the supple-
mental restraint system.
(3) Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch is turned to the ºLOCKº
position and the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, even if only loosen-
ing the set bolts of the airbag sensor assembly.
(j) WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
(1) The SRS wire harness is integrated with the instrument panel wire harness assembly. All connec-
tors in the system are a standard yellow color. If the SRS wire harness becomes disconnected
or the connector becomes broken due to an accident, etc., repair or replace it.
3. ELECTRONIC CONTROL
(a) REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BATTERY TERMI-
NAL
(1) Before performing electronic work, disconnect the
battery negative (±) terminal cable beforehand in
order to prevent it from shorting and burning out.
(2) When disconnecting and installing the terminal
cable, turn the ignition switch and lighting switch
OFF, and loosen the terminal nut completely. Per-
form these operations without twisting or prying the
terminal.
(3) When the battery terminal cable is removed, the
memories of the clock, radio, DTCs, etc. are erased.
So before removing it, check them and make a note
of their settings.
(4) When the battery negative (±) terminal cable is dis-
connected, memories of various systems are
erased. Therefore, refer to the PRE±CHECK for
each system to make sure whether or not the sys-
tem needs to be initialized after the battery negative

(±) terminal cable is disconnected. If necessary, be
sure to initialize the system.
(b) HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC PARTS
(1) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unless
absolutely necessary (If the IC terminals are
touched, the IC may be rendered inoperative by
static electricity).
(2) To disconnect electronic connectors, pull the con-
nector itself, not the wires.
(3) Be careful not to drop electronic components, such
as sensors or relays. If they are dropped on a hard
floor, they should be replaced and not be reused.
(4) When cleaning the engine with steam, protect the
electronic components, air filter and emission±re-
lated components from water.
(5) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install
temperature switches or temperature sensors.
(6) When checking the continuity at the wire connector,
insert the tester probe carefully to prevent terminals
from bending.
4. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF FUEL CONTROL PARTS
(a) PLACE FOR REMOVING AND INSTALLING OF FUEL SYSTEM PARTS
(1) Work in a place with good air ventilation and without anything that could cause combustion
around you such as a welder, grinder, drill, electric motor or stove.
(2) Never work in a place such as a pit or nearby a pit, as there is a possibility that vaporized fuel
will collect in those places.
(b) REMOVING AND INSTALLING OF FUEL SYSTEM PARTS
(1) Prepare a fire extinguisher before starting operations.
(2) To prevent static electricity, install a ground on the fuel changer, vehicle and fuel tank, and do
not spray much water so as to prevent slipping.
(3) Never use any electric equipment like an electric motor or a working light, as they may create
sparks or a high temperature.
(4) Never use an iron hammer, as it may create sparks.
(5) Dispose of shop rags containing fuel deposits separately.
5. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF ENGINE INTAKE
PARTS
(a) If any metal tip is mixed in the inlet pass, this may give a
bad effect to the engine and turbocharger.
(b) When removing and installing the inlet system parts,
close the opening of the removed inlet system parts and
the engine with a clean waste cloth or gum tape.
(c) When installing the inlet system parts, check that there is
no mixing of a metal tip.
