3 HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL B This manual provides information on the electrical circuits installed on vehicles by dividing them into a circuit for each system. The actual wiring of each system circuit is shown from the point where the power source is received from the battery as far as each ground point. (All circuit diagrams are shown with the switches in the OFF position.) When troubleshooting any problem, first understand the operation of the circuit where the problem was detected (see System Circuit section), the power source supplying power to that circuit (see Power Source section), and the ground points (see Ground Points section). See the System Outline to understand the circuit operation. When the circuit operation is understood, begin troubleshooting of the problem circuit to isolate the cause. Use Relay Location and Electrical Wiring Routing sections to find each part, junction block and wiring harness connectors, wiring harness and wiring harness connectors, splice points, and ground points of each system circuit. Internal wiring for each junction block is also provided for better understanding of connection within a junction block. Wiring related to each system is indicated in each system circuit by arrows (from ,to ). When overall connections are required, see the Overall Electrical Wiring Diagram at the end of this manual.

Junction Blocks are shaded to clearly separate them from other parts (different junction blocks are shaded differently for further clarification). A : System Title B : Indicates a Relay Block. No shading is used and only the Relay Block No. is shown to distinguish it from the J/B. Example: 1 Indicates Relay Block No. 1. C : Indicates the connector to be connected to a part (the numeral indicates the pin No.) Explanation of pin use. J : Indicates the wiring color. Wire colors are indicated by an alphabetical code.

The first letter of the code for each wiring harness and wiring harness connector(s) indicates thecomponent’s location, e.g, “E” for the Engine Compartment, “I” for the Instrument Panel and Surrounding area, and “B” for the Body and Surrounding area. When more than one code has the first and second letters in common, followed by numbers (e.g, IH1, IH2), this indicates the same type of wiring harness and wiring harness connector. P : When 2 parts both use one connector in common, the parts connector name used in the wire routing section is shown in square brackets [ ]. O : Indicates the pin number of the connector. The numbering system is different for female and male connectors. H : Represents a part (all parts are shown in sky blue).

Example: Part “P 4” (Power Window Master SW) is on page 21 of the manual. * The letter in the code is from the first letter of the part, and the number indicates its order in parts starting with the letter. Example: P 4 HINTS: Part is 4th in order Power Window Master SW Junction connector (code: J1 to J19) in this manual include a short terminal which is connected to a number of wire harnesses. Always perform inspec- tion with the short terminal installed. (When instal- ling the wire harnesses, the harnesses can be con- nected to any position within the short terminal grouping. Accordingly, in other vehicles, the same position in the short terminal may be connected to a wire harness from a different part.) Wire harness sharing the same short terminal grouping have the same color. T : Indicates the reference page showing the position on the vehicle of Relay Block Connectors in the system circuit.

It is described on page 14 of this manual, and is installed on the instrument panel left side. V : Indicates the reference page describing the wiring harness and wiring harness connector (the female wiring harness is shown first, followed by the male wiring harness). Example: Connector “ID1”connects the front door RH wire (female) and cowl wire (male). It is described on page 26 of this manual, and is installed on the right side kick panel. W : Indicates the reference page showing the position of the ground points on the vehicle. Example: Ground point “IC” is described on page 24 of this manual and is installed on the cowl left side.

8 B HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL The “Current Flow Chart” section, describes which parts each power source (fuses, fusible links, and circuit breakers) transmits current to. In the Power Source circuit diagram, the conditions when battery power is supplied to each system are explained. Since all System Circuit diagrams start from the power source, the power source system must be fully understood. * The system shown here is an EXAMPLE ONLY. It is different to the actual circuit shown in the SYSTEM CIRCUITS SECTION. H POWER SOURCE (CURRENT FLOW CHART) The chart below shows the route by which current flows from the battery to each electrical source (Fusible Link, Circuit Breaker, Fuse, etc.) and other parts. The next page and following pages shown the parts to which each electrical source outputs current. POWER SOURCE
9 B The ground points circuit diagram shows the connections from all major parts to the respective ground points. When troubleshooting a faulty ground point, checking the system circuits which use a common ground may help you identify the problem ground quickly. The relationship between ground points ( , and shown below) can also be checked this way. EA IB IC * The system shown here is an EXAMPLE ONLY. It is different to the actual circuit shown in the SYSTEM CIRCUITS SECTION. J GROUND POINT
10 C TROUBLESHOOTING (a) Disconnect the battery terminal or wire so there is no voltage between the check points. (b) Contact the two leads of an ohmmeter to each of the check point. 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 the volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10kΩ/V minimum) for troubleshooting of the electrical circuit. CONTINUITY AND RESISTANCE CHECK VOLTAGE CHECK (a) Establish conditions in which voltage is check point. Example: A – Ignition SW on B – Ignition SW and SW 1 on C – Ignition SW, SW 1 and Relay on (SW2 off) (b) Using a voltmeter, connect the negative lead to a ground point or negative battery terminal, and a positive lead to the connector or component terminal. This check can be done with a test light instead of a voltmeter.
11 C (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 the 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. (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). CAUTION: FINDING A SHORT CIRCUIT 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 disconnecting before pulling apart.
