- THE LARGE ILLUSTRATIONS are exploded views (see the following figure below) and contain tightening torques, lubrication points, section number of the PARTS CATALOG (e.g. SEC. 440) and other information necessary to perform repairs. The illustrations should be used in reference to service matters only. When ordering parts, refer to the appropriate PARTS CATALOG. Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information. Components shown in an illustration may be identified by a circled number. When this style of illustration is used, the text description of the components will follow the illustration. Refer to «Key to Symbols Signifying Measurements or Procedures»(ref-382152-S13042927102011011400000) for additional symbol definitions.

Note. Trouble diagnoses indicate work procedures required to diagnose problems effectively. Observe the following instructions before diagnosing. Before performing trouble diagnoses, read the "Work Flow" in each article. After repairs, re-check that the problem has been completely eliminated. Refer to Component Parts and Harness Connector Location for the Systems described in each article for identification/location of components and harness connectors. When checking circuit continuity, ignition switch should be OFF. Refer to the Circuit Diagram for quick pinpoint check. If you need to check circuit continuity between harness connectors in more detail, such as when a sub-harness is used, refer to WIRING DIAGRAM in each individual article and HARNESS LAYOUT for identification of harness connectors. Before checking voltage at connectors, check battery voltage. After accomplishing the Diagnosis Procedures and Electrical Components Inspection, make sure that all harness connectors are reconnected as they were.

Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper servicing. These precautions are not described in each individual article.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
- Connect both battery cables. NOTE: Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
- Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the "ACC" position. At this time, the steering lock will be released.
- Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be rotated.
- Perform the necessary repair operation.
- When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position before connecting the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
- Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible, recreate the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble Found Diagnosis. The following article illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The article 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.
- In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized method. Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also, get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate equipment and follow the correct test procedure.
- You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
| OPEN | A circuit is open when there is no continuity through a section of the circuit. | |
|---|---|---|
| SHORT | There are two types of shorts. | |
| SHORT CIRCUIT | When a circuit contacts another circuit and causes the normal resistance to change. | |
| SHORT TO GROUND | When a circuit contacts a ground source and grounds the circuit. | |
