Electronic Circuit Inspection Procedure

  1. BASIC INSPECTION 
    1. WHEN MEASURING RESISTANCE OF ELECTRONIC PARTS
      1. Unless otherwise stated, all resistance measurements should be made at an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°F). Resistance measurements may be inaccurate 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, and 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 a connector, check that there are no deformed, damaged, loose or missing terminals.
      4. When connecting a connector, press firmly until it locks with a "click" sound.
      5. If checking a connector with a TOYOTA electrical tester, check the connector from the backside (harness side) using a mini test lead.
        NOTE:
        • As a waterproof connector cannot be checked from the backside, check it by connecting a sub-harness.
        • Do not damage the terminals by moving the inserted tester needle.

    3. CHECKING CONNECTORS
      1. Checking when a connector is disconnected: Squeeze the connector together to confirm that they are fully connected and locked.
      2. Checking when a connector is disconnected: Check by pulling the wire harness lightly from the backside of the connector. Look for unlatched terminals, missing terminals, loose crimps or broken conductor wires. Check visually for corrosion, metallic or foreign matter and water, and bent, rusted, overheated, contaminated, or deformed terminals.
        NOTE: When testing a gold-plated female terminal, always use a gold-plated male terminal.
