Description

This article explains "Removal, Disassembly, Installation, Inspection and Adjustment" and "Trouble Diagnoses".

Note. Trouble diagnoses indicate work procedures required to diagnose problems effectively. Observe the following instructions before diagnosing.

1. Before performing trouble diagnoses, read the "Preliminary Check", the "Symptom Chart" or the "Work Flow".
2. After repairs, re-check that the problem has been completely eliminated.
3. Refer to Component Parts and Harness Connector Location for the Systems described in each article for identification/location of components and harness connectors.
4. 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»(ref-375700-S32880622182010102800000) in each individual article and «HARNESS LAYOUT»(ref-375701-S25046587452010102800000) in appropriate article for identification of harness connectors.
5. When checking circuit continuity, ignition switch should be OFF.
6. Before checking voltage at connectors, check battery voltage.
7. After accomplishing the Diagnostic Procedures and Electrical Components Inspection, make sure that all harness connectors are reconnected as they were.

1. Work and diagnostic procedure Start to diagnose a problem using procedures indicated in enclosed test groups.
2. Questions and required results Questions and required results are indicated in bold type in test group. The meaning of are as follows: a. Battery voltage --> 11 - 14V or approximately 12V b. Voltage: Approximately 0V --> Less than 1V
3. Symbol used in illustration Symbols included in illustrations refer to «MEASUREMENTS OR PROCEDURES»(ref-375700-S32669090872010102800000) . Before diagnosing a problem, familiarize yourself with each symbol. Refer to " «CONNECTOR SYMBOLS»(ref-375700-S05519806782010102800000) " in General Information article and " «KEY TO SYMBOLS SIGNIFYING MEASUREMENTS OR PROCEDURES»(ref-375700-S32669090872010102800000) " below.
4. Action items Next action for each test group is indicated based on result of each question. Test group number is shown in the left upper portion of each test group.

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 information illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.

The information is broken into the six following topics

1. Vehicle vibration
2. Heat sensitive
3. Freezing
4. Water intrusion
5. Electrical load
6. 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.

1. 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.
2. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
