Rear main HONDA CIVIC 1996 6.G Owner's Guide

Master Switch Test (Sedan)
1.Remove the armrest from the driver's door panel
(see page 23-228).
Disconnect the 16P and 1P connectors from the
master switch.
Check for continuity between the terminals in each
switch position according to the tables
Driv€r's Switch:
The driver's switch is combined with the control unit so
you cannot isolate the switch to test it. Instead, run the
master switch input test procedures at terminals 83, 84,
85. BO and 87 on page 23-22A. lt the tests are normal,
the driver's switch must be faulty.

Connector Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector
View section in the back of the book. Each view includes the color of the connector, where it
is located, and what it connects to.
Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity when you need to probe a
connector. lt can be especially helpful if the connector has more than one wire of the same
cotor.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits
which could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's
how:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit.
2. Make a list of all the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic (include page
numbers).
3. Then, in the Connector View section, look up each connector on your list to see il circuits
related to the other symptoms run through one of them. lf they do, inspect that connector
for the oroblem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all
in-line and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector
View section (sample below). You find that C324 is common to the rear window defogger
circuit and wiper/washer circuit, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
