PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
SERVICE

When disconnecting and connecting coupler, make sure to
turn ignition switch OFF, or electronic parts may get dam-
aged.

Be careful not to touch the electrical terminals of parts which
use microcomputers (e.g. electronic control unit like as
ECM, PCM, P/S controller, etc.). The static electricity from
your body can damage these parts.

Never connect any tester (voltmeter, ohmmeter, or whatever)
to electronic control unit when its coupler is disconnected.
Attempt to do it may cause damage to it.

Never connect an ohmmeter to electronic control unit with
its coupler connected to it. Attempt to do it may cause dam-
age to electronic control unit and sensors.

Be sure to use a specified voltmeter / ohmmeter. Otherwise,
accurate measurements may not be obtained or personal in-
jury may result.

When taking measurements at electrical connectors using a
tester probe, be sure to insert the probe from the wire har-
ness side (backside) of the connector.

When connecting meter probe from terminal side of coupler
because it can't be connected from harness side, use extra
care not to bend male terminal of coupler of force its female
terminal open for connection.
In case of such coupler as shown connect probe as shown
to avoid opening female terminal.
Never connect probe where male terminal is supposed to fit.

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
While there are various electrical circuit inspection methods, de-
scribed here is a general method to check its open and short circuit
by using an ohmmeter and a voltmeter.
OPEN CIRCUIT CHECK
Possible causes for the open circuit are as follows. As the cause is
in the connector or terminal in many cases, they need to be checked
particularly carefully.

Loose connection of connector

Poor contact of terminal (due to dirt, corrosion or rust on it, poor
contact tension, entry of foreign object etc.)

Wire harness being open
When checking system circuits including an electronic control unit
such as ECM, TCM, ABS control module, etc., it is important to per-
form careful check, starting with items which are easier to check.
1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
2) Check each connector at both ends of the circuit being checked
for loose connection. Also check lock condition of connector if
equipped with connector lock.
3) Using a test male terminal, check both terminals of the circuit be-
ing checked for contact tension of its female terminal.
Check each terminal visually for poor contact (possibly caused
by dirt, corrosion, rust entry of foreign object, etc.).
At the same time, check to make sure that each terminal is
locked in the connector fully.
4) Using continuity check or voltage check procedure described in
the following page, check the wire harness for open circuit and
poor connection with its terminals. Locate abnormality, if any.

A / C EVAPORATOR THERMISTOR
(EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR)
A thermistor is a temperature sensor to sense the temperature of
air discharged from evaporator. The electrical characteristic is
shown in the figure.
When temperature is lower than preset temperature, amplifier
makes magnet clutch turn off to prevent evaporator from frosting.
INSPECTION
Check resistance between A / C evaporator thermistor (1) termi-
nals.
If check results are as not specified, replace thermistor.
