Troubleshooting

Basic Troubleshooting Procedures

Basic Troubleshooting Procedure
Customer Problem Analysis Check Sheet
General Inspection Procedure. Resistance Measurement Conditions: Measured resistance of electronic parts at high temperature after starting the vehicle may be high or low. Therefore, all resistances must be measured at ambient temperature (20 °C, 68°F), unless otherwise specified.Intermittent Problem Inspection Procedure: Sometimes the most difficult troubleshooting case is when the problem symptom occurs but cannot be reproduced during testing. For example, if the problem appears only when the vehicle is cold, but not when it is warm. In this case, the technician must carefully complete the Customer Problem Analysis Sheet and recreate (simulate) the environment and conditions under which the vehicle had the problem.
  1. Clear the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
  2. Inspect the connector connection and check the terminal for poor contact, loose wire, bent, broken or corroded pins, then make sure the connectors are always securely fastened.
  3. Gently shake the connector and wire harness vertically and horizontally.
  4. Repair or replace the faulty component.
  5. Perform a road test to confirm that the problem has disappeared.
● Simulate vibration
a. Sensors and Actuators: Lightly tap the sensors, actuators or relays with your finger.
b. Connectors and Harness: Lightly shake the connector and wiring harness in the vertical and then in the horizontal direction.
● Simulate heat
a. Heat the components suspected of causing the malfunction using a hair dryer or other heat source.
● Simulate water spray
a. Spray water on the vehicle to simulate rainy or high humidity conditions.
● Simulate electrical load
a. Turn on all electrical systems to simulate excessive electrical loads (radio, fans, lights, rear window defogger, etc.).
Connector Inspection Procedure
  1. Connector Handling
    a. Never pull on the wire harness when disconnecting connectors.
    b. When disconnecting a connector with a lock, press or pull the locking lever.
    b. Listen for a click when connectors lock. This sound indicates that they are securely locked.
    d. When using a tester to check continuity or measure voltage, always insert the tester probe from the wire harness side.
    e. Check waterproof connector terminals from the connector side. Waterproof connectors cannot be accessed from the wire harness side.
  2. Connector Checkpoints
    a. With the connector connected: While holding the connector, check the connection condition and locking efficiency.
    b. With the connector disconnected: Check for a missing terminal, crimped terminal or broken core wire by gently pulling the wire harness. Visually check for rust, contamination, deformation and bending.
    b. Check terminal tightness: Insert a spare male terminal into the female terminal, then check the terminal tightness condition.
    d. Lightly pull each wire to make sure all wires are secured in the terminal.
  3. Connector Terminal Repair
    a. Clean the contact points using compressed air and/or a cloth.
    b. If contact pressure is abnormal, replace the female terminal.
  4. Before removing the wire harness, check the position and clamping of the wire harness to restore it correctly.
  5. Check the wiring harness for twisted, stretched, or loose harness sections.
  6. Check the wiring harness for abnormally high temperature.
  7. Check whether the wiring harness rotates, moves or vibrates against a sharp edge of a part.
  8. Check the connection between the wire harness and any installed part.
  9. If the wire harness covering is damaged, secure, repair or replace the harness.
  10. Open Circuit Procedures
    • Continuity Check
    • Voltage Check
    If an open circuit occurs (as shown in [FIG. 1]), it can be located by performing Step 2 (continuity check method) or Step 3 (voltage check method), as shown below.
  11. Continuity Check MethodSpecification (resistance): 1 Ω or less → Normal circuit; 1 MΩ or more → Open circuit
    a. Disconnect connectors (A) and (C) and measure the resistance between connectors (A) and (C), as shown in [FIG. 2]. In [FIG. 2], the measured resistance is above 1 MΩ for line 1 and less than 1 Ω for line 2. Specifically, the open is in line 1. (Line 2 is normal.) To find the exact break point, check the sub-section of line 1 as described in the next step.
    b. Disconnect connector (B) and measure the resistance between connectors (C) and (B1) and between (B2) and (A), as shown in [FIG. 3]. In this case, the measured resistance between connectors (C) and (B1) is above 1 MΩ, so there is an open circuit between terminal 1 of connector (C) and terminal 1 of connector (B1).
  12. Voltage Check Method
    a. With each connector still connected, measure the voltage between chassis ground and terminal 1 of each of connectors (A), (B) and (C), as shown in [FIG. 4]. The measured voltage of each connector is 5 V, 5 V and 0 V respectively. Therefore, there is an open circuit between connectors (C) and (B).
  13. Short to Ground Check Method
    • Continuity Check with Chassis Ground
    If a short to ground occurs, as shown in [FIG. 5], the broken point can be located by performing Step 2 (continuity check method with chassis ground), as shown below.
  14. Continuity Check Method (with Chassis Ground)Specification (resistance): 1 Ω or less → Short to ground; 1 MΩ or more → Normal circuit
    a. Disconnect connectors (A) and (C) and measure the resistance between connector (A) and body ground, as shown in [FIG. 6]. The measured resistance is below 1 Ω for line 1 and above 1 MΩ for line 2. Specifically, the short to ground is in line 1. (Line 2 is normal.) To find the exact break point, check the sub-section of line 1 as described in the next step.
    b. Disconnect connector (B) and measure the resistance between connector (A) and chassis ground and between (B1) and chassis ground, as shown in [FIG. 7]. The measured resistance between connector (B1) and chassis ground is 1 Ω or less. The short to ground is between terminal 1 of connector (C) and terminal 1 of connector (B1).
Wire Harness Inspection Procedure: Electrical Circuit Inspection Procedure ● Check for open circuit ● Check for short circuit ● Voltage drop test. This test checks the voltage drop across a wire, connection, or switch.
A. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the end of the wire (or to the connector or switch side) closest to the battery.
B. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or switch).
C. Operate the circuit.
D. The voltmeter will show the voltage difference between two points. A difference or drop of more than 0.1 V (50 mV in 5 V circuits) may indicate a problem. Check the circuit for loose or dirty connections.
