CONNECTOR SYMBOLS
Most of connector symbols in wiring diagrams are shown from the
terminal side.
+Connector symbols shown from the terminal side are enclosed
by a single line and followed by the direction mark
.
+Connector symbols shown from the harness side are enclosed
by a double line and followed by the direction mark
.
+Male and female terminals
Connector guides for male terminals are shown in black and
female terminals in white in wiring diagrams.

Harness indication
+Letter designations next to test meter probe indicate harness
(connector) wire color.
+Connector numbers in a single circle
M33indicate harness con-
nectors.
Component indication
+Connector numbers in a double circle indicate component con-
nectors.
SWITCH POSITIONS
Switches are shown in wiring diagrams as if the vehicle is in the
``normal'' condition.
A vehicle is in the ``normal'' condition when:
+ignition switch is ``OFF'',
+doors, hood and trunk lid/back door are closed,
+pedals are not depressed, and
+parking brake is released.

DETECTABLE LINES AND NON-DETECTABLE LINES
In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires,
with different weight are used.
+A 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 (Engine Control Module) can
detect its malfunctions with the on board diagnostic system.
+A 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.

Super multiple junction (SMJ)
In wiring diagram, connectors consisting of terminals having terminal numbers with an alphabet (1B, 0D, etc.)
are SMJ connectors.
If connector numbers are shown in Reference Area, these connector symbols are not shown in Connector
Area. For terminal arrangement of these connectors, refer to the foldout page at the end of this manual.
Joint connector
Joint connector symbols are shown in Connector Area in the wiring diagram concerned. Foldout page also
carries inside wiring layout together with such joint connector symbols.

How to Probe Connectors
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from
improperly probing of the connector during circuit checks.
The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly ®t the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the pro-
cedures below using a ``T'' pin. For the best contact grasp the ``T''
pin using an alligator clip.
PROBING FROM HARNESS SIDE
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed
from harness side with ``T'' pin.
+If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector,
remove the rear cover before probing the terminal.
+Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side.
Damage to the seal between wire and connector may
result.
PROBING FROM TERMINAL SIDE
Female terminal
+There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each
terminal with the ``T'' pin through the notch.
Do not insert any object other than the same type male termi-
nal into female terminal.
+Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To
probe each terminal, remove the connector retainer to make
contact space for probing.
Male terminal
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a ``T''
pin.
Do not bend terminal.

How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of
Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent
signals in the circuit.
If the intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure below to
inspect for open wires and enlarged contact spring of female ter-
minal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal
side up.
3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the
male terminal into the female terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with
your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal
can be easily inserted or not.
+If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female
terminal, replace the female terminal.

Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may
lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof char-
acteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
+Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal
between the male and female connectors. If the seal is missing,
the waterproof performance may not meet speci®cations.
+The rubber seal may come off when connectors are discon-
nected. Whenever connectors are reconnected, make sure the
rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.
WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a
waterproof connector. Be sure that the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connec-
tor. An unlocked terminal may create intermittent signals in the cir-
cuit.
