Electronic Circuit Inspection Procedure

2005 Toyota 4Runner Limited, 4.0 U, 4WDSECTION Electronic Circuit Inspection Procedure

BASIC INSPECTION
1. RESISTANCE MEASURING CONDITION OF ELECTRONIC PARTS
  1. Unless stated, all resistance is measured at an ambient temperature of 68°F (20°C). Resistances measured may be outside the specifications if measured at high temperatures, i.e. immediately after the vehicle has been running. Measurements should be made after the engine has cooled down.
2. HANDLING CONNECTORS
  1. When disconnecting a connector, first squeeze the mating halves tightly together to release the lock, then press the lock claw and separate the connector.
  2. When disconnecting a connector, do not pull on the harnesses. Grasp the connector directly and separate it.
  3. Before connecting the connector, check that there are no deformed, damaged, loose or missing terminals.
  4. When connecting a connector, press firmly until you hear the lock close with a "click" sound.
  5. If checking the connector with a TOYOTA electrical tester, check it from the backside (harness side) of the connector using a mini test lead.

• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
