Detectable Lines and Non-Detectable Lines




In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires, with different weight are used.
^ A line with regular weight (wider line) represents a "detectable line for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code)". A "detectable line for DTC" is a circuit in which Electronic Concentrated Control System (ECCS) control module (ECM) can detect its malfunctions with the on-board diagnostic system.
^ A line with less weight (thinner line) represents a "non-detectable line for DTC". A "non-detectable line for DTC" is a circuit in which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the on-board diagnostic system.
