Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.
Manuals through 2025 now available!

Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

Inspection of P/S Control Module and Its Circuits

Inspection of P/S Control Module and Its Circuits
The P/S control module (1) and its circuits can be checked at the P/S control module wiring couplers (2) by measuring voltage and resistance.

CAUTION:
P/S control module cannot be checked by itself. It is strictly prohibited to connect voltmeter or ohmmeter to the P/S control module with connectors disconnected from the P/S control module.






Voltage Check
1) Remove console box.
2) Check for voltage at each terminal with connectors connected to the P/S control module.

NOTE:
As each terminal voltage is affected by the battery voltage, confirm if the battery voltage is 11 V or more when ignition switch is ON.







(Part 1):




(Part 2):




(Part 3):





NOTE:
^ : The voltage of this circuit may not be checked by voltmeter. If so, use oscilloscope.
