General PrecautionsS7RS0B0000002
The WARNING and CAUTION describe some general 
precautions that you should observe when servicing a 
vehicle. These general precautions apply to many of the 
service procedures,  and they will not necessarily be 
repeated with each procedure to which they apply.
WARNING! 
• Whenever raising a vehicle for service, be  sure to follow the instructions under 
“Vehicle Lifting Points in Section 0A”.
• When it is necessary to do service work  with the engine running, make sure that 
the parking brake is set fully and the 
transmission is in Neutral (for manual 
transmission vehicles) or Park (for 
automatic transmission vehicles), Keep 
hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from 
the fan and belts when the engine is 
running.
• When it is necessary to run the engine  indoors, make sure that the exhaust gas is 
forced outdoors.
• Do not perform service work in areas  where combustible materials can come in 
contact with a hot exhaust system. When 
working with toxic or  flammable materials 
(such as gasoline and refrigerant), make 
sure that the area you work in is well-
ventilated.
• To avoid getting burned, keep away from  hot metal parts such as the radiator, 
exhaust manifold, tail  pipe, muffler, etc.
• New and used engine oil can be  hazardous. Children and pets may be 
harmed by swallowing new or used oil. 
Keep new and used oil and used engine oil 
filters away from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine oil 
has been found to cause [skin] cancer in 
laboratory animals. Brief contact with used 
oil may irritate skin.  To minimize your 
exposure to used engine oil, wear a long-
sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves 
(such as dish washing gloves) when 
changing engine oil. If engine oil contacts 
your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and 
water. Launder any clothing or rags if wet 
with oil, recycle or properly dispose of 
used oil and filters. • Be sure to observe following instructions 
when handling service materials such as 
fuel, oil, fluid, coolant, grease, sealant, 
thread lock cement, etc. Otherwise, your 
health may be ruined.
– Whenever handling any of these service materials, wear safety glasses to protect 
your eyes. If it gets into your eye, it may 
cause inflammation.
– Whenever handling any of these service  materials, wear moistu re-proof gloves to 
protect your skin. If it adheres to your 
skin, it may cause inflammation.
– Do not swallow any of these service  materials. It would cause diarrhea or 
nausea.
– Keep all these materials out of children’s  reach.
• Make sure the bonnet is fully closed and  latched before driving. If  it is not, it can fly 
up unexpectedly during driving, 
obstructing your view and resulting in an 
accident.
 
• Before starting any service work, cover fenders, seats  and any other parts that are likely to get scratched or 
stained during servicing. Also, be aware that what you 
wear (e.g., buttons) ma y cause damage to the 
vehicle’s finish.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 00-9 Precautions: 
• Be careful not to touch the electrical terminals of parts which use microcomputers (e.g. electronic control unit 
like as ECM, PCM, P/S controller, etc.). The static 
electricity from your body  can damage these parts.
• Never connect any tester (voltmeter, ohmmeter, or  whatever) to electronic control unit when its coupler is 
disconnected. 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.  Otherwise, accurate measurements may not be 
obtained or personal injury ma y result. If not specified, 
use a voltmeter with high impedance (M  Ω/V 
minimum) or a digital type voltmeter.
• When taking measurements at electrical connectors  using a tester probe, be sure to insert the probe (2) 
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 at each terminal, check to  make sure that battery voltage is 11 V or higher. Such 
terminal voltage check at lo w battery voltage will lead 
to erroneous diagnosis.

Repair Instructions
Electrical Circuit Inspection ProcedureS7RS0B0006001
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 perfor m 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 te rminal is locked in the 
connector fully.
1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just for once.
