Electrical
System-General

Wiring
and
Harness
Connections
The
electronic
fuel
injection
and
ignition
systems
operate
at
low
voltage
and
current
values,
making
them
sensitive
to
small
increases
in
resistance
.
The
electrical
system
is
routine-
ly
subjected
to
corrosion,
vibration
and
wear,
so
faults
or
cor-
rosion
in
the
wiring
harness
and
connectors
are
common
causes
of
driveability
problems
.
Visually
inspect
all
wiring,
connectors,
switches
and
fuses
in
the
system
.
Loose
or
damaged
connectors
can
cause
inter-
mittent
problems,
especially
the
smallterminals
in
the
ECM
connectors
.
Disconnect
the
wiring
harness
connectors
to
check
for
corrosion
;
and
use
electrical
cleaning
spray
to
re-
move
contaminants
.
Often,
simply
disconnecting
and
recon-
necting
a
dirty
connector
several
times
will
clean
the
terminals
and
help
to
reestablish
good
electrical
contact
.
If
a
wiring
harnessconnectorhasno
visible
faults,
but
is
still
suspect,
measure
the
voltage
drop
across
the
connector
.
A
large
drop
indicates
excessive
resistance,
meaning
the
con-
nector
is
corroded,
dirty
or
damaged
.
Clean
or
repair
the
con-
nector
and
retest
.
Ground
Connections
For
any
electrical
circuit
to
work,
it
must
make
acomplete
path,
beginning
at
the
positive
(+)
battery
terminal
and
ending
at
the
negative
(-)
terminal
.
The
negative
(-)
battery
cable
is
attached
to
the
car's
chassis
.
Therefore,
any
wireor
metal
part
attached
to
the
chassis
provides
a
good
ground
path
back
to
the
negative
(-)
battery
terminal
.
Poorground
connections
are
amajor
source
of
driveabílity
problems
.
If
any
of
themainground
connections
for
the
igni-
tion
system
or
the
fuelinjection
system
are
faulty,
the
in-
creased
resistance
in
that
circuit
will
cause
problems
.
Visually
inspect
al¡
ground
wires
and
connections
for
breaks,
looseness
or
corrosion
.
Be
careful
because
wires
sometimes
break
internally
or
in
areas
not
easily
visible
.
The
main
grounds
for
the
DME
system
are
shown
in
Fig

Also
check
the
main
fuel
pump
ground
in
the
center
console,
below
the
emergency
brake
handle
.
If
a
ground
connection
has
no
visiblefaults,
but
is
still
suspect,
measure
the
voltage
drop
acrossthe
connection
.
A
large
drop
indicates
high
resistance,
meaning
the
connection
is
corroded,
dirty
or
damaged
.
Clean
or

the
connection
and
