2. CONNECTOR HANDLING
When inserting tester probes into a connector, insert them from
the rear of the connector. When necessary, use mini test leads.
For water resistant connectors which cannot be accessed from
behind, take good care not to deform the connector terminals.
3. CONTINUITY CHECK (OPEN CIRCUIT CHECK)
(a) Disconnect the connectors at both ECU and sensor
sides.
(b) Measure the resistance between the applicable terminals
of the connectors.
Resistance: 1 W or less
HINT:
Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness
vertically and horizontally.
4. RESISTANCE CHECK (SHORT CIRCUIT CHECK)
(a) Disconnect the connectors on both ends.
(b) Measure the resistance between the applicable terminals
of the connectors and body ground. Be sure to carry out
this check on the connectors on both ends.
Resistance: 1 MW or higher
HINT:
Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness
vertically and horizontally.
5. VISUAL CHECK AND CONTACT PRESSURE CHECK
(a) Disconnect the connectors at both ends.
(b) Check for rust or foreign material, etc. in the terminals of
the connectors.
(c) Check crimped portions for looseness or damage and
check that the terminals are secured in lock portion.
HINT:
The terminals should not come out when pulled lightly from the
back.

(d) Prepare a test male terminal and insert it in the female ter-
minal, then pull it out.
NOTICE:
When testing a gold-plated female terminal, always use a
gold-plated male terminal.
HINT:
When the test terminal is pulled out more easily than others,
there may be poor contact in that section.
6. CHECK OPEN CIRCUIT
For the open circuit in the wire harness in Fig. 1, perform º(a)
Continuity Checkº or º(b) Voltage Checkº to locate the section.
(a) Check the continuity.
(1) Disconnect connectors ºAº and ºCº and measure
the resistance between them.
In the case of Fig. 2:
Between terminal 1 of connector ºAº and terminal 1
of connector ºCº " No continuity (open)
Between terminal 2 of connector ºAº and terminal 2
of connector ºCº " Continuity
Therefore, it is found out that there is an open circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ºAº and terminal 1
of connector ºCº.
(2) Disconnect connector ºBº and measure the resis-
tance between the connectors.
In the case of Fig. 3:
Between terminal 1 of connector ºAº and terminal 1
of connector ºB1º " Continuity
Between terminal 1 of connector ºB2º and terminal
1 of connector ºCº " No continuity (open)
Therefore, it is found out that there is an open circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ºB2º and terminal
1 of connector ºCº.

(b) Check the voltage.
In a circuit in which voltage is applied (to the ECU connec-
tor terminal), an open circuit can be checked for by con-
ducting a voltage check.
As shown in Fig. 4, with each connector still con-
nected, measure the voltage between body ground
and terminal 1 of connector ºAº at the ECU 5V out-
put terminal, terminal 1 of connector ºBº, and termi-
nal 1 of connector ºCº, in that order.
If the results are:
5V: Between Terminal 1 of connector ºAº and Body Ground
5V: Between Terminal 1 of connector ºBº and Body Ground
0V: Between Terminal 1 of connector ºCº and Body Ground
Then it is found out that there is an open circuit in the wire har-
ness between terminal 1 of ºBº and terminal 1 of ºCº.
7. CHECK SHORT CIRCUIT
If the wire harness is ground shorted as in Fig. 5, locate the sec-
tion by conducting a ºcontinuity check with groundº.
Check the continuity with ground.
(1) Disconnect connectors ºAº and ºCº and measure
the resistance between terminal 1 and 2 of connec-
tor ºAº and body ground.
In the case of Fig. 6:
Between terminal 1 of connector ºAº and body
ground " Continuity (short)
Between terminal 2 of connector ºAº and body
ground " No continuity
Therefore, it is found out that there is a short circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ºAº and terminal 1
of connector ºCº.

(2) Disconnect connector ºBº and measure the resis-
tance between terminal 1 of connector ºAº and body
ground, and terminal 1 of connector ºB2º and body
ground.
In the case of Fig. 7:
Between terminal 1 of connector ºAº and body
ground " No continuity
Between terminal 1 of connector ºB2º and body
ground " Continuity (short)
Therefore, it is found out that there is a short circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ºB2º and terminal
1 of connector ºCº.
8. CHECK AND REPLACE ECU
First check the ECU ground circuit. If it is faulty, repair it. If it is
normal, the ECU could be faulty, so replace the ECU with a nor-
mal functioning one and check that the symptoms appear.
(1) Measure the resistance between the ECU ground
terminal and the body ground.
Resistance: 1 W or less
(2) Disconnect the ECU connector, check the ground
terminals on the ECU side and the wire harness
side for bend and check the contact pressure.
