Connectors

Disconnecting connectors





^ When disconnecting a connector, grasp the connectors, not the wires.

Inspection

Caution: To prevent damage to the terminal, wrap a thin wire around the tester probe before inserting into terminal.





^ When a tester is used to inspect for continuity or measuring voltage, insert the tester probe from the wiring harness side.





^ Inspect the terminals of waterproof connectors from the connector side since they cannot be accessed from the wiring harness side.
