How to Use the Inspection Procedures







The causes of many of problems occurring in electric circuitry are generally the connectors, components, the ECU and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures follow this order. They first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

HARNESS INSPECTION
Check for an open or short circuit in the harness between the terminals which were faulty according to the connector measurements. Carry out this inspection while referring to Harness Connector Inspection. Here, "Check harness between power supply and terminal xx" also includes checking for blown fuse. For inspection service points when there is a blown fuse, refer to "Inspection Service Points for a Blown Fuse."

MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLACING THE ECU
If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even after replacing the ECU, repeat the inspection procedure from the beginning.
