GENERAL
Various running changes on engine control system, electrical systems, body etc. Note that the introduc-
tion timing of some of the running changes may not be entirely in line with the above mentioned VIN.
For some running changes, the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is mentioned to specify the timing
of the change implemention.
The VIN No. may not be an exact number, there is an error range of approx. 50 cars.

PRECAUTIONS
Precautions for NATS (Contd)
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialisation and NATS igni-
tion key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation manual
for NATS.
Therefore, CONSULT-II NATS software (program card and
operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to main-
tain the integrity of the anti-theft function.
When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialisa-
tion and additional registration of other NATS ignition key
IDs), it may be necessary to re-register original key identifi-
cation. Therefore, be sure to obtain all keys from vehicle
owner.
A maximum of four key IDs can be registered into NATS.
General Precautions
Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time
without proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
flammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrig-
erant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area,
be sure to properly ventilate the area before working with
hazardous materials.

PRECAUTIONS
Precautions for Engine Oils (Contd)
Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where
practicable.
Do not put oily rags in pockets.
Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should
not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regularly.
First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period,
to help the removal of oil from the skin.
Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). Preparations contain-
ing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been
removed.
Do not use gasoline, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners
or solvents for cleaning skin.
If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without
delay.
Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should
be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in
addition an eye wash facility should be provided.
DIESEL ENGINE*:
Diesel fuel of at least 50 cetane
* If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or win-
ter fuel properly according to the following temperature con-
ditions.
Above 7C (20F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
Below 7C (20F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
GI-7
PRECAUTIONS
Precautions for Fuel (Contd)
CAUTION:
Do not use home heating oil, gasoline, or other alternate
fuels in your diesel engine. The use of those can cause
engine damage.
Do not use summer fuel at temperatures below 7C
(20F). Cold temperatures will cause wax to form in the
fuel, as a result, it may prevent the engine from running
smoothly.
Do not add gasoline or other alternative fuels to diesel
fuel.

STEP DESCRIPTION
STEP 1 Get detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident occurred.
The following are key pieces of information required to make a good analysis:
WHAT Vehicle Model, Engine, Transmission and the System (i.e. Radio).
WHEN Date, Time of Day, Weather Conditions, Frequency.
WHERE Road Conditions, Altitude and Traffic Situation.
HOW System Symptoms, Operating Conditions (Other Components Interaction).
Service History and if any After Market Accessories have been installed.
STEP 2 Operate the system, road test if necessary.
Verify the parameter of the incident.
If the problem can not be duplicated, refer to Incident Simulation Tests next page.
STEP 3 Get the proper diagnosis materials together including:
POWER SUPPLY ROUTING
System Operation Descriptions
Applicable Service Manual Sections
Identify where to begin diagnosis based upon your knowledge of the system operation and the customer com-
ments.
STEP 4 Inspect the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage.
Determine which circuits and components are involved and diagnose using the Power Supply Routing and Har-
ness Layouts.
STEP 5 Repair or replace the incident circuit or component.
STEP 6 Operate the system in all modes. Verify the system works properly under all conditions. Make sure you have not
inadvertently created a new incident during your diagnosis or repair steps.
GI-24
HOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS
FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the conditions of
the problem.
VEHICLE VIBRATION
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating (idle
with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to the illustration
below.
Hint
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the connector ter-
minals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If the problem occurs
intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to disconnect, inspect and clean
the terminals on related connectors in the system.
Shake gently.
Bend gently.

The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car
Water in warms up (winter time). The cause could be related to water
connector freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange
for the owner to leave his car overnight. Make sure it will get cold
enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked out-

into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it
occurs, repair or replace the component.

Circuit Inspection
INTRODUCTION
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also, get a
thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate equipment and
follow the correct test procedure.
You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring
harness or electrical component to do this.
OPEN A circuit is open when there is no continuity through a section of the circuit.
SHORT There are two types of shorts.
When a circuit contacts another circuit and causes the
SHORT CIRCUIT
normal resistance to change.
When a circuit contacts a ground source and grounds the

Voltage check method
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic.
In any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence of volt-
age. This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
1. Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
2. Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
3. With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage.
voltage; open is further down the circuit than SW1.
no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
4. Close SW1 and probe at relay.
voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay.
no voltage; open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
5. Close the relay and probe at the solenoid.
voltage; open is further down the circuit than the solenoid.
no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).
Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the above example.

1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid dis-
connected) powered through the fuse.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the B + side of the fuse ter-
minal (one lead on the B + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a known good ground).
3. With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage.
voltage; short is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
4. With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check
for voltage.
voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no voltage; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
5. With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage.
voltage; short is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid
(point C).
no voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
GROUND INSPECTION
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits. Ground
connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The corrosion (rust) can
become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground can
drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect the circuit.
Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
1. Remove the ground bolt screw or clip.
2. Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
3. Clean as required to assure good contact.
4. Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
5. Inspect for add-on accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
6. If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure all of
the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are cased in
one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.

VOLTAGE DROP TESTS
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance. A voltage
drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with ohmmeter, contact by a single strand of
wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates, this single
strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high resistance to the current.
This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.
Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
Undersized wiring (single strand example)
Corrosion on switch contacts
Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

HOW TO FOLLOW TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
NOTICE
Trouble diagnoses indicates work procedures required to diag-
nose problems effectively. Observe the following instructions
before diagnosing.
1) Before performing trouble diagnoses, read the Prelimi-
nary Check, the Symptom Chart or the Work Flow.
2) After repairs, re-check that the problem has been com-
pletely eliminated.
3) Refer to Component Parts and Harness Connector Loca-
tion for the Systems described in each section for
identification/location of components and harness con-
nectors.
4) Refer to the Circuit Diagram for Quick Pinpoint Check.
If you need to check circuit continuity between harness
connectors in more detail, such as when a sub-harness
is used, refer to Wiring Diagram in each individual sec-
tion and Harness Layout in EL section for identification
of harness connectors.
5) When checking circuit continuity, ignition switch should
be in the LOCK position.
6) Before checking voltage at connectors, check battery
voltage.
7) After accomplishing the Diagnostic Procedures and
Electrical Components Inspection, make sure that all
harness connectors are reconnected as they were.
