HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The causes of a high frequency of problems occurring in electronic circuitry are generally the connectors,
components, the ECU and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures
follow this order, and they first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

2. Indicates inspection carried out using the
MUT-II.

dures.
Indicates the OK judgement conditions.
3. Detailed inspection procedures (methods)
such as component inspection and circuit
inspection are listed on a separate page, and
are given here for reference.
5. Inspect the contact condition at each connector terminal.
(Refer to Connector Inspection Service Points.)
The connector position can be located in the wiring diagram in the
electrical wiring manual by means of this symbol.
Caution
After carrying out connector inspection, always be sure to
reconnect the connector as it was before.
6. Confirm that there are trouble symptoms. If trouble symptoms have
disappeared, the connector may have been inserted incorrectly and the
trouble symptom may have disappeared during inspection.
If it seems that trouble symptoms still remain, proceed to the next page of
instructions.
7. If trouble symptoms still remain up to this stage, there is a possibility that there is an
open or short circuit in the harness between the connectors, so check the harness.
Alternatively, the cause may be a defective ECU, so try replacing the ECU and check
if the trouble symptom disappears.

HARNESS INSPECTION
Check for an open or short circuit in the harness between the terminals which were defective according
to the connector measurements. Carry out this inspection while referring to the electrical wiring manual.
Here, “Check harness between power supply and terminal xx” also includes checking for blown fuses.
For inspection service points when there is a blown fuse, refer to “Inspection Service Points for a Blown
Fuse.”
MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLACING THE ECU
If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even after replacing the ECU, repeat the inspection procedure
from the beginning.

GENERAL -How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points00-11
CONNECTOR MEASUREMENT SERVICE POINTS
Turn the ignition switch to OFF when connecting disconnecting
the connectors, and turn the ignition switch to ON when
measuring if there are no instructions to be contrary.
IF INSPECTING WITH THE CONNECTOR CONNECTED
(WITH CIRCUIT IN A CONDITION OF CONTINUITY)
Waterproof Connectors
Be sure to use the special tool (harness connector). Never
insert a test bar from the harness side, because to do so
will reduce the waterproof performance and result in corrosion.
Ordinary (non-waterproof) Connectors
Check by inserting the test bar from the harness side. Note
that if the connector (control unit, etc.) is too small to permit
insertion of the test bar, it should not be forced; use a special
tool (the extra-thin probe in the harness set for checking
for this purpose.
IF INSPECTING WITH THE CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED

Use the special tool (inspection harness for connector pin
contact pressure in the harness set for inspection).
The inspection harness for connector pin contact pressure
should be used. the test bar should never be forcibly inserted,
as it may cause a defective contact.

Touch the pin directly with the test bar.
Caution
At this time, be careful not to short the connector pins
with the test bars. To do so may damage the circuits
inside the ECU.

CONNECTOR INSPECTION

DConnector is disconnected or improperly connected
DConnector pins are pulled out
DDue to harness tension at terminal section
DLow contact pressure between male and female terminals
DLow connection pressure due to rusted terminals or foreign
matter lodged in terminals
CONNECTOR PIN INSPECTION
If the connector pin stopper is damaged, the terminal
connections (male and female pins) will not be perfect even
if the connector body is connected, and the pins may pull
out of the reverse side of the connector. Therefore, gently
pull the harnesses one by one to make sure that no pins
pull out of the connector.
CONNECTOR ENGAGEMENT INSPECTION
Use the special tool (connector pin connection pressure
inspection harness of the inspection harness set) to inspect
the engagement of the male pins and females pins. (Pin
drawing force : 1 N or more)

INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS FOR A BLOWN
FUSE
Remove the blown fuse and measure the resistance between
the load side of the blown fuse and the earth. Set the switches
of all circuits which are connected to this fuse to a condition
of continuity. If the resistance is almost 0Ωat this time,
there is a short somewhere between these switches and the
load. If the resistance is not 0Ω, there is no short at the
present time, but a momentary short has probably caused
the fuse to blow.
The main causes of a short circuit are the following.
DHarness being clamped by the vehicle body
DDamage to the outer casing of the harness due to wear
or heat
DWater getting into the connector or circuitry
DHuman error (mistakenly shorting a circuit, etc.)
POINTS TO NOTE FOR INTERMITTENT
MALFUNCTIONS
Intermittent malfunctions often occur under certain conditions,
and if these conditions can be ascertained, determining the
cause becomes simple. In order to ascertain the conditions
under which an intermittent malfunction occurs, first ask the
customer for details about the driving conditions, weather
conditions, frequency of occurrence and trouble symptoms,
and then try to recreate the trouble symptoms. Next, ascertain
whether the reason why the trouble symptom occurred under
these conditions is due to vibration, temperature or some
other factor. If vibration is thought to be the cause, carry
out the following checks with the connectors and components
to confirm whether the trouble symptom occurs.
The objects to be checked are connectors and components
which are indicated by inspection procedures or given as
probable causes (which generates diagnosis codes or trouble
symptoms.)
DGently shake the connector up, down and to the left and
right.
DGently shake the wiring harness up, down and to the
left and right. Check the branch point of wiring harness
connector closely.
DGently rock each sensor and relay, etc. by hand.
DGently shake the wiring harness at suspensions and other
moving parts.
NOTE
If determining the cause is difficult, the flight recorder function
of the MUT-IIcan also be used.

GENERAL -Precautions Before Service00-18
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
1. Items to follow when servicing SRS
(1) Be sure to read GROUP 52B - Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
For safe operations, please follow the directions and heed all warnings.
(2) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cable before doing any further work.
The SRS system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag even after the battery
has been disconnected. Serious injury may result from unintended air bag deployment if work
is done on the SRS system immediately after the battery cable is disconnected.
(3) Warning labels must be heeded when servicing or handling SRS components. Warning labels
are located in the following locations.
DSun visor
DGlove box
DSRS-ECU
DSteering wheel
DSteering Joint Cover
DAir bag module (driver’s side and front passenger’s side)
DClock spring
DSeat belt with pre-tensioner
(4) Always use the designated special tools and test equipment.
(5) Store components removed from the SRS in a clean and dry place.
The air bag module should be stored on a flat surface and placed so that the pad surface is
facing upward.
Do not place anything on top of it.
(6) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the SRS components (SRS-ECU, air bag module, clock
spring and seat belt with pre-tensioner).
(7) Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check the SRS warning lamp operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.
(8) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing of the air bag module or disposing of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag. (Refer to GROUP 52B - Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.)
2. Observe the following when carrying out operations on places where SRS components are installed,
including operations not directly related to the SRS air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts do not allow any impact or shock to the SRS components.
(2) SRS components should not be subjected to heat, so remove the SRS components before drying
or baking the vehicle after painting.
DSRS-ECU, air bag module, clock spring: 93_C or more
DSeat belt with pre-tensioner: 90_C or more
After re-installing them, check the SRS warning lamp operation to make sure that the system
functions properly.
