CHECKING CABLES AND WIRES
1. Check connections for looseness, rust and stains.
2. Check terminals and wires for corrosion by battery electrolyte,
$tc.
3. Check terminals and wires for open circuit or impending open
circuit.
4. Check wire insulation and coating for damage, cracks and de-
grading.
5. Check conductive parts of terminals for contact with other
metallic parts (vehicle body and other parts).
6. Check grounding parts to verify that there is complete conti-
nuity between attaching bolt(s) and vehicle body.
7. Check for incorrect wiring.
8. Check that wirings are so clamped as to ‘prevent contact with
sharp corners of the vehicle body, etc. or hot parts (exhaust
manifold, pipe, etc.).
9. Check that wirings are clamped firmly to secure enough clear-
ance from the fan pulley, fan belt and other rotating or moving
parts.
10. Check that the wirings between the fixed parts such as the
vehicle body and the vibrating parts such as the engine are
made with adequate allowance for vibrations.
HANDLING ON-VEHICLE BAlTERY
When checking or servicing does not require power from the on-
vehicle battery, be sure to disconnect the cable from the battery
(-)terminal. This is to prevent problems that could be caused by
shorting of the circuit. Disconnect the (-) terminal first and recon-
nect it last.
TROUBLESHOOTING
A circuit consists of the power supply, switch, relay, load, ground,
etc. There are various methods to check a circuit including an
overall check, voltage check, shortcircuit check and continuity
check. Each of these methods is briefly described in the following.
1. Voltage check
(1) Ground one lead wire of the test light. If a voltmeter is
used instead of the test light, ground the grounding
side lead wire.
(2) Connect the other lead wire of the test light to the
power side terminal of the connector 0. The test light
should come on or the voltmeter should indicate a
voltage.
(3) Then, connect the test light or voltmeter to the
connector (3,. The test light should not come on, or the
voltmeter should indicate no voltage. When the switch
is turned on in this state, the test light should come on,
or the voltmeter should indicate a voltage, with the
motor starting to run.
(4) The circuit illustrated here is normal but if there is any
problem such as the motor failing to run, check
voltages beginning at the connector nearest to the
motor unit the faulty part is identified. 1 ST6 Revision

2. CHECKING SHORTCIRCUITS
(1) Remove the blown fuse connect the test light to the
disconnected terminal. The test light should not come
on.
(2) Connect a lead wire of the test light to the power side
of the connector 0. The test light should not come on.
(3) Connect a lead wire of the test light to the load side of
the connector 0. The test light should come on and the
load light should also come on.
(4) Disconnect the load at the connector 0 and connect
the test light lead wire to the load side of the connector
CD.
The test light should come on and the load light should
also come on.
(5) Connect the test light lead wire to the switch side of
the connecotr 0. The test light should come on.
(6) If the test conforms to any of the above conditions,
there is a shortcircuit in the wiring between the
connector 0 and the connector 0.
3. CHECKING CONTINUITY
(I) When the switch is in the OFF position, the self power
test light should come on or the ohmmeter should read
0 R only when the terminals 2 and 3 are interconnect-
ed.
(2) When the switch is in the ON position, the self power
test light should come on or the ohmmeter should read
0 LR only when the terminals 1 and 4 are interconnect-
ed.

(2) Identification of connectors differing according to different vehicle specifications
Without wiring harness connectors, the inter-device or -wiring harness connectors which vary in shape or
position on different vehicle specifications are
given the specification-dependent connector identification svm-
bol (lower case alphabet) after a serial number.
For detailed information on this specification-dependent symbol, refer to Item (8) under “HOW
TO READ
CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS”.
(3) Indication of standard mounting positions of harnesses
The standard mounting positions of harnesses are shown with the mark * in wiring harness configuration
diagrams.

The position of ground points are shown in wiring harness configuration diagrams. For detailed information on
the ground portion, refer to ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PARTS LOCATION (Grounding).

HOW TO READ CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS
The circuit diagrams are functionally separated.
(1) Indication of circuit connected to another circuit
When the circuit in a circuit diagram connected to another circuit in a different diagram, the page number of that
different diagram is indicated so that it can be referred to.
(2) Indication of device connections
The circuit diagram shows whether a device harness connection is one with an attached cable or is a direct
connection type.
(3) Indication of connectors in circuit diagrams
A connector in a circuit diagram is shown in a frame and is assigned a connector symbol. This symbol
corresponds to the symbol in a wiring harness configuration diagram so that the connector location can be
known easily. An intermediate connector has its female side only shown as a rule. However both of the male
and female sides are shown when they differ in wiring color.
Refer to Item (2)
If a frame showing a connector touches the
?. it indicates that the de-

Refer to Items (2) and (3).
The frame shows the connector is not touch- ing the symbol of a device, and indicates that
the device harness connection is one with an
attached cable.

(5) Indication of ground point
The ground point in a circuit diagram is marked by a ground symbol, making it possible for you to refer to a
wiring harness configuration diagram and to ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PARTS LOCATION (Grounding).
(6) Indication of wires
In a circuit diagram, the wire diameter and wire color are shown for each wire. If there are several wires
of the same color in a connector, their wire color indication symbols should be such symbols as “I and
“2 for identification.

(7) Indication of shielded cables
A shielded cable used , for example, in an electronic control circuit for prevention of malfunctions that may
otherwise be caused by radio interference is indicated by a solid line sandwiched between dashed lines ( E).
(8) Indication of specification-dependent connectors
With regard to harness connectors, the inter-device and -harness connectors which vary in shape or position on
different vehicle specifications, such as those with rear wipers and turbocharger and those without turbo-
charger, are given a specification-dependent connector identification symbol (lower case alphabet) following the
connector symbol.

IDENTIFYING CONNECTORS
In circuit diagrams, the connectors are indicated by symbolic
marks which show the number of their wires and whether they
are male,or female connectors.
(1) Number of connector wires
The number of divisions in the connector diagram indicates
the number of wires. A cross in a division, however, indicates
the position of a guide to prevent improper connection. The
connector shown here, therefore, is a g-wire connector.

(2) Identification of male and female connectors
Connectors drawn with double outer lines are male, and those
with single outer lines are female.
(3) Connector direction
The connector marks show on-vehicle connectors as viewed
from the direction shown here.
(4) Identification of connector terminals
The color codes of a pair of connectors (male and female), if
viewed at their joining surfaces, will appear symmetrical as
illustrated here. When the connectors are connected, their
joining surfaces are put together in the way a book is closed,
so the terminals of identical codes are connected together.
NOTE
The color codes of male and female connectors are not always
identical.
(5) Identification of sealed connectors
Identification of round, sealed connectors (water-proof pin ter-
minal connectors) used in radiator fan motor circuits, turbo
circuits, etc. is accomplished by the same method as
described above.
