HOW TO FOLLOW TROUBLE DIAGNOSES

Description

INFOID:0000000006243343

NOTICE:

Trouble diagnoses indicate work procedures required to diagnose problems effectively. Observe the following

instructions before diagnosing.

• Before performing trouble diagnoses, read the “Work Flow” in each section.

• After repairs, re-check that the problem has been completely eliminated.

• Refer to Component Parts and Harness Connector Location for the Systems described in each section for

identification/location of components and harness connectors.

• When checking circuit continuity, ignition switch should be OFF.

• Refer to the Circuit Diagram for quick pinpoint check.

If you need to check circuit continuity between harness connectors in more detail, such as when a sub-har-

ness is used, refer to Wiring Diagram in each individual section and Harness Layout in PG section for identi-

fication of harness connectors.

• Before checking voltage at connectors, check battery voltage.

• After accomplishing the Diagnosis Procedures and Electrical Components Inspection, make sure that all

harness connectors are reconnected as they were.
