00-13 Precautions:
When checking system circuits including an electronic
control unit such as ECM, TCM, ABS control module,
etc., it is important to perform 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 being 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.
1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just for once.
4) Using continuity check or voltage check the following
procedure, check the wire harness for open circuit
and poor connection with its terminals. Locate
abnormality, if any.
1. Looseness of crimping
2. Open
3. Thin wire (single strand of wire)
Continuity Check
1) Measure resistance between connector terminals at
both ends of the circuit being checked (between "A-
1" and "C-1" in the figure). If no continuity is indicated
(infinity or over limit), that means that the circuit is
open between terminals "A-1" and "C-1".
2) Disconnect the connector included in the circuit
I2RH01010049-01
(connector-B in the figure) and measure resistance
between terminals "A-1" and "B-1".
If no continuity is indicated, that means that the
circuit is open between terminals "A-1" and "B-1". If
continuity is indicated, there is an open circuit
between terminals "B-1" and "C-1" or an abnormality
in connector-B.

Voltage Check
If voltage is supplied to the circuit being checked, voltage
check can be used as circuit check.
1) With all connectors connected and voltage applied to
the circuit being checked, measure voltage between
each terminal and body ground.
a) If measurements were taken as shown in the
figure and results were as listed in the following,
it means that the circuit is open between
I2RH01010051-01
terminals "B-1" and "A-1".
Voltage between each terminal and body
ground
"C-1" and body ground: Approx. 5 V
"B-1" and body ground: Approx. 5 V
"A-1" and body ground: 0 V
