POWER SUPPLY ROUTING
This diagram is helpful in identifying specific prob-
lems
in the power supply portion of the electrical
circuits. For example, let's say
a vehicle has an in-
operative
rear window defogger A quick check
proves that meter and
gauges in the vehicle are
operative The power supply diagram shows that
there cannot be
a problem between the battery,
ignition relay, ignition switch or fuse since the
power supply circuit for the
rear window defogger

is common with the meter and gauges. Therefore,
the cause of this specific problem must
lie past the
fuse, such
as in the wiring, rear window defogger,
or ground.

Trouble-Shooting
Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery IS fully charged A 30-Volt voltmeter and
suitable test probes are necessary for the test The alternator can

Display Check (Cont'd)
a Digital combination meter is provided with a
self-check function to determine whether or
not meter itself
is malfunctioning.
Test procedure
(1) While pushing trip reset switch A, switch igni-
tion switch from
"OFF" to "ON" Trip reset
switch
A should remain pushed in until self-
check operation start
(2) Meter starts to automatically perform self-
check. Segments for meters and gauges should
illuminate one after another.
(3) If any particular segment remains off, corn-
bination meter
itself is faulty.
