lowing section illustrates ways to simulate the c onditions/environment under which the owner experiences an
electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics: Vehicle vibration
 Heat sensitive
 Freezing
 Water intrusion
 Electrical load
 Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer . It is important for simulating the conditions of the
problem.
VEHICLE VIBRATION
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating (idle with
A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to the following illustra-
tion.
Connector & Harness
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are inspecting. Gently
shake each connector and harness while monitoring the syst em for the incident you are trying to duplicate.
This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
Hint
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the connector termi-
nals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If the problem occurs inter-
mittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosi on. It is a good idea to disconnect, inspect and clean the
terminals on related connectors in the system.
Sensor & Relay
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting.
This test may indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
Engine Compartment
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some of the
things to check for are:
 Connectors not fully seated.
 Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
 Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
 Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
 Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifyi ng the integrity of ground connections. (Refer to Ground
Inspection described later.) First check that the syst em is properly grounded. Then check for loose connection
by gently shaking the wiring or components as previous ly explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the
wiring for continuity.
Behind the Instrument Panel
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory installation. Vehi-
cle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a screw.

DescriptionINFOID:0000000006280856
 When CONSULT-III/GST is connected with a data link connector
(A) equipped on the vehicle side, it will communicate with the con-
trol unit equipped in the vehicle and then enable various kinds of
diagnostic tests.
 Refer to “CONSULT-III Software Operation Manual” for more infor- mation.

CONSULT-III/GST CHECKING SYSTEM
CONSULT-III/GST Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit
INFOID:0000000006280858
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
If the CONSULT-III/GST cannot diagnose the system properly, check the following items.
NOTE:
The DDL1 and DDL2 circuits from DLC pins 12, 13, 14 and 15 may be connected to more than one system. A
short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect CONSULT-III access to other sys-
tems.
If the GST cannot operate properly, check the circ uit based on the information of SAE J1962 and ISO 15031-
3.
Symptom Check item
CONSULT-III/GST cannot ac-
cess any system.  CONSULT-III/GST DLC power supply circuit (Terminal 8 and 16) and ground circuit (Terminal 4 and
5)
CONSULT-III cannot access in-
dividual system. (Other sys-
tems can be accessed.)  Power supply and ground circuit for the control unit of the system (For detailed circuit, refer to wiring
diagram for each system.)
 Open or short circuit between the system and CONSULT-III DLC (For detailed circuit, refer to wiring
diagram for each system.)
 Open or short circuit CAN communication line. Refer to LAN-18, "
Trouble Diagnosis Flow Chart".
