W/Harness Inspection

Terminal and Connector Inspection

1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminal condition. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3. Has a problem been found?
YES
- Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure
NO
- Go to" Power Circuit Inspection" procedure.

Power Supply Circuit Inspection

1. Voltage check
(1) IG Key "OFF".
(2) Disconnect the PCM connector.
(3) IG Key "ON" and Brake "OFF"
(4) Measure the voltage between terminal 21 of PCM harness connector and chassis ground.
(5) Measure the voltage between terminal 23 of PCM harness connector and chassis ground.
(6) Brake "ON"
(7) Measure the voltage between terminal 21 of PCM harness connector and chassis ground.
(8) Measure the voltage between terminal 23 of PCM harness connector and chassis ground.
A. Specification :









(9) Is the measured voltage within specification ?
YES
- Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
- Go to "Check open in harness" as follows.
2. Check open in harness
(1) IG Key "OFF".
(2) Disconnect the stop lamp switch and PCM connector.
(3) Measure the resistance between terminal 21 of PCM harness connector and terminal 3 of stop lamp switch harness side.
(4) Measure the resistance between terminal 23 of PCM harness connector and terminal 1 of stop lamp switch harness side.
A. Specification : Approx. below 1 Ohm




(5) Is the measured resistance within specification ?
YES
- Go to "Check voltage" procedure.
NO
- Repair open in circuit and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
3. Check voltage
(1) IG Key "OFF".
(2) Disconnect the stop lamp switch connector.
(3) Measure the voltage between stop lamp switch terminal 2 and chassis ground.
(4) Measure the voltage between stop lamp switch terminal 4 and chassis ground.
(5) IG Key "ON".
(6) Measure the voltage between stop lamp switch terminal 2 and chassis ground.
(7) Measure the voltage between stop lamp switch terminal 4 and chassis ground.
A. Specification :













(8) Is the measured voltage within specification ?
YES
- Substitute with a known - good stop lamp switch and check for proper operation.
If the problem is corrected, replace stop lamp switch and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
- Check the fuse between battery and stop lamp switch.
- Repair open or short in power circuit of stop lamp switch and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
