4) Using continuity check or voltage check the following procedure, check the wire harness for open circuit 
and poor connection with its terminals. Locate 
abnormality, if any.
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 indica ted, that means that the 
circuit is open between terminals “A-1” and “B-1”. If 
continuity is indicated, 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 circuit being checked,  measure voltage between 
each terminal and body ground.
a) If measurements were taken as shown in the  figure and results were as  listed in the following, 
it means that the circuit is open between 
terminals “B-1” and “A-1”.
Voltage between
“C-1” and body ground: Approx. 5 V
“B-1” and body ground: Approx. 5 V
“A-1” and body ground: 0 V
b) Also, if measured values were as listed in the  following, it means that there is a resistance 
(abnormality) of such le vel that corresponds to 
the voltage drop in the circuit between terminals 
“A-1” and “B-1”.
Voltage between
“C-1” and body ground: Approx. 5 V
“B-1” and body ground: Approx. 5 V
“A-1” and body ground: Approx. 3 V

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 00-13 Precautions: 
Short Circuit Check (Wire Harness to Ground)1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Disconnect connectors at bot h ends of the circuit to 
be checked.
NOTE
If the circuit to be checked is connected to 
other parts (1), disconnect all connectors of 
those parts.
Otherwise, diagnosis will be misled.
 
3) Measure resistance between terminal at one end of  circuit (“A-1” terminal in the figure) and body ground. 
If continuity is indicated, it  means that there is a short 
to ground between terminals “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 InspectionS7RS0B0006002
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, perfor m 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  moisture and dirt, as well  as not maintaining proper 
terminal orientation with the component or mating 
connector.

• 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 
connection by shaking it by hand lightly. If any 
abnormal condition is found, repair or replace. • Wire insulation which is rubbed through, causing an 
intermittent 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.
1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just once.
2. Check each terminal for bend and proper alignment.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 0A-3 General Information: 
There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored 
(striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “GRN”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color sy mbols (i.e. “GRN/YEL”). The first symbo l represents the base color of the wire 
(“GRN” in the figure) and the second symbol represents  the color of the stripe (“YEL” in the figure).
Fasteners InformationS7RS0B0101004
Metric Fasteners
Most of the fasteners used for this vehicle are JIS-
defined and ISO-defined metric fasteners. When 
replacing any fasteners, it is most important that 
replacement fasteners be the correct diameter, thread 
pitch and strength.
CAUTION! 
Even when the nominal diameter (1) of thread 
is the same, the thread pitch (2) or the width 
across flats (3) may vary between ISO and 
JIS. Refer to JIS-TO-ISO Main Fasteners 
Comparison Table below for the difference.
Installing a mismatched bolt or nut will cause 
damage to the thread.
Before installing, check the thread pitch for 
correct matching and then tighten it by hand 
temporarily. If it is tight, recheck the thread 
pitch.
 
JIS-TO-ISO Main Fasteners Comparison Table Fastener Strength Identification
Most commonly used metric fastener strength property 
classes are 4T, 6.8, 7T, 8.8 and radial line with the class 
identification embossed on the head of each bolt. Some 
metric nuts will be marked with punch, 6 or 8 mark 
strength identification on the nut face. Figure shows the 
different strength markings.
When replacing metric fasteners, be careful to use bolts 
and nuts of the same strength or greater than the original 
fasteners (the same number marking or higher). It is 
likewise important to select replacement fasteners of the 
correct diameter and thread 
pitch. Correct replacement 
bolts and nuts are available through the parts division.
Metric bolts: Identification class numbers or marks 
correspond to bolt strength (increasing numbers 
represent increasing strength).
