Part number HONDA CIVIC 1997 6.G Owner's Guide

Connectors - "C"
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each
connector are numbered starting from the
upper left, looking at the male terminals trom
the terminal side (or looking at the female
lerminals f rom the wire side. Both views are in
the same direction so the numbers are the
same.) All actual cavities are numbered, even
if they have no wire terminals in them.

The connector cavity number is listed next to
each terminal on the circuit schematic. The
cavity/terminal shown below is #6.
Terminal
This means the connector
connects directly to the
componenr.
This means the connector
connects to a lead (pigtail)
wired directly to the

Symbols
Ground - "G"
This symbol means the end ol
the wire is attached (grounded) Ito the car frame or to a metal I
part connected to the frame. \i oro,|

Each wire ground (G) it --/
numbered for reference.

Switches
These switches move
together; the broken straight
line between them means the,
are mechanically connected.
Other types of switches are
controlled by a coil or a solid
state circuit. Unless otherwise
noted. all switches are shown
in their normal (rest) position,
with power off.
This ground symbol (dot
and 3 lines) overlapping the
component means the housing
of the component is grounded
to the car frame or to a metal
part connected to the frame.
This symbol represents
the bus inside a ground
connector. The dots I

terminals connect to.
The ground symbol (large dot)
is the connection between the
bus and metal (grounded) part
of the car.

Solid-state
Fuses
This means power is supplied
when the ignition switch is in ON (ll).
Current rating
Diodes
A rectifier diode works like a one
way valve. lt allows current to
llow only in the direction of the
arrow.
A Zener diode blocks reverse
current at normal voltages just like
a rectifier diode. At high voltages.
however, a Zener diode allows
current to f low in reverse
oo
Each "T" lerminal (ring type)
is numbered for reference and
location. A "T" terminal is
secured with a screw or bolt.
Shielding
This represents RFI
(Radio Frequency
Interference) shielding
around a wire. The
shielding is always
connected to ground.
f--l;j-i",..

T

In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure
resistance between two points along a circuit.
Low resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can
make a DVOM give a false reading. To check
a reading, reverse the leads, and take a
second reading. lf the readings differ, the
component is affecting lhe measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit.
A iumper wire is made up ot an in-line fuse
holder connected to a set of test leads. lt
should have a five amoere fuse. Never
connect a jumper wire across a short circuit.
The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locater)
Short finders are available to locale shorts to
ground. The short tinder creates a pulsing
magnetic field in the shorted circuit whlch you
can follow to the location of the short. lts use
is explained on page 15.
SHORT FINDER
To ordei any test equipment shown above,
contact your local tool supplier. For a list of
suppliers and tool numbers, refer to Honda
Required Special Tools and Equipment
Service Bulletin.

Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse box.
2. Check the battery for damage, state of
charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION:
. Do not quick-charge a battery unlers
the battery ground cable has been
disconnected, or you will damage the
alternator diodes.
. Do not attempt to crank the engine wlth
the ground cable disconnected or you
will severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have
no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure lhat connectors without wire
seals are packed with dielectric (silicone)
grease. Part Number: 08798-9001 .
Pack wllh dlelectrlc (sillcons) greass
When connecting a connector, push it until it"clicks" into place.
Do not pull on the wires when
disconnecting a connector. Pull
only on the connector houslngs.
Most circuits Include solid-state
devlces. Test the voltages In these
circuits only with a lo-megaohm or
higher impedance digital multlm6ter.
Never use a test light or analog meter
on chcuits that contain solld-state
devices. Damage to the devices
may result.
