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

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.
