Precautions

There are a number of important precautions that are musts when servicing electrical systems. Learn and observe all the rules below.

  • Do not reverse the battery cable connections. This will burn out the diodes on the electrical parts.
  • Always check battery condition before condemning other parts of an electrical system. A fully charged battery is a must for conducting accurate electrical system tests.
  • The electrical parts should never be struck sharply, as with a hammer, or allowed to fall on a hard surface. Such a shock to the parts can damage them.
  • To prevent damage to electrical parts, do not disconnect the battery cables or any other electrical connections when the ignition switch is ON, or while the engine is running.
  • Because of the large amount of current, never keep the starter button pushed when the starter motor will not turn over, or the current may burn out the starter motor windings.
  • Take care not to short the cables that are directly connected to the battery positive (+) terminal to the chassis ground.
  • Troubles may involve one or in some cases all items.

    Never replace a defective part without determining what CAUSED the failure. If the failure was caused by some other item or items, they must be repaired or replaced, or the new replacement will soon fail again.

  • Make sure all connectors in the circuit are clean and tight, and examine wires for signs of burning, fraying, etc. Poor wires and bad connections will affect electrical system operation.
  • Measure coil and winding resistance when the part is cold (at room temperature).

Wiring Inspection

  • Visually inspect the wiring for signs of burning, fraying, etc.

    If any wiring is poor, replace the damaged wiring.

  • Pull each connector [A] apart and inspect it for corrosion, dirt, and damage.

    If the connector is corroded or dirty, clean it carefully. If it is damaged, replace it.

  • Check the wiring for continuity.
    • Use the wiring diagram to find the ends of the lead which is suspected of being a problem.
    • Connect the hand tester between the ends of the leads.

    Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394

Electrical Wiring

  • Set the tester to the × 1 Ω range, and read the tester.

If the tester does not read 0 Ω, the lead is defective. Replace the lead or the wiring harness [B] if necessary.
