HOW TO DIAGNOSE

POINT FOR DIAGNOSIS

M10009300013USA0000010000

The most important point in troubleshooting is to
determine “Probable Cause.” Once the probable
causes are determined, parts to be checked can be
limited to those associated with such probable

causes. The determination of the probable causes
must be based on a theory and be supported by facts
and must not be based on intuition only.

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS

M10009300003USA0000010000

If an attempt is made to solve a problem without going
through correct steps for troubleshooting, the
symptoms could become more complicated, resulting

in failure to determine the causes correctly and
making incorrect repairs. The four steps below should
be followed in troubleshooting.

Checking of Parts Associated with
Probable Causes and Determination
of Faulty Parts

2 Determination of Probable Causes

4 Repair and Confirmation

Observe the symptom carefully. Check if there are also
other problems.

In determining the probable causes, it is necessary to
study the wiring diagram to understand the circuit as a
system. Knowledge of switches, relays and other parts is
necessary for accurate analysis. The causes of similar
problems in the past must be taken into account.

Troubleshooting is carried out by making step-by-step
checks until the cause is found.

After the problems are corrected, be sure to check that the
system operates correctly. Also check that new problems
have not been caused by the repair.

1 Observation of Problem Symptoms

INFORMATION FOR DIAGNOSIS

M10009300004USA0000010000

This manual contains the harness diagrams as well
as the individual circuit drawings, operational
explanations, and troubleshooting hints for each
component. The information is presented in the
following manner:

1.

Connector diagrams show the connector positions,
etc., on the actual vehicle as well as the harness
path.

2.

Circuit diagrams show the configuration of the
circuit with all switches in their normal positions.

3.

Operational explanations include circuit drawings of
current flow when the switch is operated and how
the component reacts.

4.

Troubleshooting hints include numerous examples
of problems which might occur, traced backward in
a common-sense manner to the origin of the
trouble. Problems whose origins may not be found
in this manner are pursued through the various
system circuits.

NOTE:

Components of MFI, ETACS, etc. with ECU do

not include 3 and 4 above. For this information,
refer to a relevant group which includes details
of these components.

HOW TO DIAGNOSE

INSPECTION

1.

Sight and sound checks
Check relay operation, blower motor rotation, light
illumination, etc. Listen for a “click” when some relay covers
are pushed down.

ZC600179AA00

2.

Simple checks
For example, if a headlight does not come on and a faulty fuse
or poor grounding is suspected, replace the fuse with a new
one. Or use a jumper wire to ground the light to the body.
Determine which part(s) is/are responsible for the problem.

3.

Checking with instruments
Use an appropriate instrument in an adequate range and read
the indication correctly.

INSPECTION INSTRUMENTS

M10009300006USA0000010000

For inspection, use the following instruments:

ZC600181AA00

Never use a test light for checking ECU-related circuits or
ECUs.

1.

Test light
A test light consists of a 12V bulb and lead wires. It is used to
check voltages or short circuits.
