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:
Number Item Description
1 Power supply • This means the power supply of fusible link or fuse.
2 Fusible link • “X” means the fusible link.
3 Number of fusible link/
fuse • This means the number of fusible link or fuse location.
4 Fuse • “/” means the fuse.
5 Current rating of fus-
ible link/fuse • This means the current rating of the fusible link or fuse.
6 Optional splice • The open circle shows that the splice is optional depending on vehicle application.
7 Connector number • The letter shows which harness the connector is located in.
• Example “M”: main harness. For detail and to locate the connector, refer to PG-61, "Elec-
trical Units Location", PG-39, "Harness Layout".
8Splice • The shaded circle “ ” means the splice.
9 Page crossing • This circuit continues to an adjacent page.
10 Option abbreviation • This means the vehicle specifications which layouts the circuit between “ ”.
11 Relay • This shows an internal representation of the relay.
12 Option description • This shows a description of the option abbreviation used on the page.
13 Switch • This shows that continuity exists between terminals 1 and 2 when the switch is in the A
position. Continuity exists between terminals 1 and 3 when the switch is in the B position.
14 Circuit (Wiring) • This means the wiring.
15 System branch • This shows that the circuit is branched to other systems.
16 Shielded line • The line enclosed by broken line circle shows shield wire.
17 Component name • This shows the name of a component.
18 Ground (GND) • This shows the ground connection.
19 Connector • This means the connector information.
• This unit-side is described by the connector symbols.
20 Connectors • This means that a transmission line bypasses two connectors or more.
21 Wire color • This shows a code for the color of the wire.
B = Black
W = White
R = Red
G = Green
L = Blue
Y = Yellow
LG = Light Green
BG = Beige BR = Brown
OR or O = Orange
P = Pink
PU or V (Violet) = Purple
GY or GR = Gray
SB = Sky Blue
CH = Dark Brown
DG = Dark Green
• When the wire color is striped, the base color is given first, followed by the stripe color as shown below:
Example: L/W = Blue with White Stripe
22 Terminal number • This means the terminal number of a connector.

• ignition switch is “OFF”,
• doors, hood and trunk lid/back door are closed,
• pedals are not depressed, and
• parking brake is released.
MULTIPLE SWITCH
The continuity of multiple switch is described in two ways as shown below.
• The switch chart is used in schematic diagrams.
• The switch diagram is used in wiring diagrams.

< BASIC INSPECTION >
SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
lowing section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/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 vi bration 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 sy stem 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 corrosion. 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 system 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.

CONSULT CHECKING SYSTEM
If the CONSULT cannot diagnose the system properly, check the following items.
NOTE:
The DDL2 circuits and CAN communication lines from DLC pins 6, 7 and 14 may be connected to more than
one system. A short in a DDL circuit or CAN lines c onnected to a control unit in one system may affect CON-
SULT access to other systems. For a complete DDL circuit layout, refer to GI-38, "Wiring Diagram"
. For a com-
plete CAN line layout, refer to LAN-36, "Wiring Diagram"
.
Symptom Check item
CONSULT cannot access any
system. • CONSULT DLC power supply circuit (Terminal 8 and 16) and ground circuit (Terminal 4 and 5)
CONSULT cannot access indi-
vidual system. (Other systems
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 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"
.
