VOLTAGE CHECK
(a) Establish conditions in which voltage is present at the check
point.
Example:
[A] – Ignition SW on
[B] – Ignition SW and SW 1 on
[C] – Ignition SW, SW 1 and Relay on (SW 2 off)
(b) Using a voltmeter, connect the negative lead to a good ground
point or negative battery terminal, and the positive lead to the
VoltmeterSW 1
connector or component terminal.
This check can be done with a test light instead of a voltmeter.
CONTINUITY AND RESISTANCE CHECK
Ohmmeter

Ohmmeter
Diode
Digital Type Analog Type
(a) Disconnect the battery terminal or wire so th er e i s n o v ol t ag e
between the check points.
(b) Contact the two leads of an ohmmeter to each of the check
points.
If the circuit has diodes, reverse the two leads and check
again.
When contacting the negative lead to the diode positive side
and the positive lead to the negative side, there should be
continuity.
When contacting the two leads in reverse, there should be no
continuity.
(c) Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kΩ/V
minimum) for troubleshooting of the electrical circuit.

FINDING A SHORT CIRCUIT
(a) Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads of the fuse.
(b) Connect a test light in place of the fuse.
(c) Establish conditions in which the test light comes on.
Example:
[A] – Ignition SW on
[B] – Ignition SW and SW 1 on
[C] – Ignition SW, SW 1 and Relay on (Connect the
Relay) and SW 2 off (or Disconnect SW 2)
(d) Disconnect and reconnect the connectors while watching th e
test light.
The short lies between the connector where the test light
stays lit and the connector where the light goes out.
(e) Find the exact location of the short by lightly shaking the
problem wire along the body.
CAUTION:
(a) Do not open the cover or the case of the ECU unless
absolutely necessary. (If the IC terminals are touched,
the IC may be destroyed by static electricity.)
(b) When replacing the internal mechanism (ECU part) of
the digital meter, be careful that no part of your body or
clothing comes in contact with the terminals of leads
from the IC, etc. of the replacement part (spare part).
DISCONNECTION OF MALE AND FEMALE
CONNECTORS
To pull apart the connectors, pull on the connector itself, not
the wire harness.
HINT : Check to see what kind of connector you are
