20 GENERAL - `How to Diagnose
HOW TO DIAGNOSE M16DMC
The most important point in troubleshooting is to determine "Probable Causes". Once the probable causes are
determined, parts to be checked can be limited to those associated with such probable causes. Therefore, unnec-
essary checks can be eliminated. The determination of the probable causes must be based on a theory and be
supported by facts and must not be based on intuition only.
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
If an attempt is made to solve a problem without going through correct steps for troubleshooting, the problem
symptoms could become more complicated, resulting in failure to determine the causes correctly and making
incorrect repairs. The four steps below should be followed in troubleshooting.
Observe the symptom carefully. Check if there are also other
1 Observation of Problem Symptoms problems.
In determining the probable causes, it is necessary to check the
2 Determination of Probable Causes wiring diagram to understand the circuit as a system. Knowledge
of switches, relays and other parts is necessary for accurate de-
termination. The causes of similar problems in the past must be
taken into account.
II Checking of Parts Associated with Troubleshooting is carried out by making step by step checks until
3 Probable Causes and Determination the true cause is found. Always go through the procedures con-
of Faultv Parts I sidering what check is to be made where for the best results.
II
4 Repair and Confirmation
After the problems are corrected, be sure to check that the sys-
tem operates correctly. Also check that new problems have not
been caused by the repair.
INFORMATION FOR DIAGNOSTIC
This manual contains the cable diagrams as well as the individual circuit drawings, operational explanations,
and troubleshooting hints for each component required to facilitate the task of troubleshooting. The
information is compiled in the following manner:
(1) Cable diagrams show the connector positions, etc., on the actual vehicle as well as the harness path.
(2) Circuit drawings show the configuration of the circuit with all switches in their normal positions.
(3) Operational explanations include circuit drawings of voltage flow when the switch is operated and how
the component operates in reaction.
(4) Troubleshooting hints include numerous examples of problems which might occur, traced backward in a
common-sense manner to the origin of the trouble. Problems whose origins may not be found in this
manner are pursued through the various system circuits.
NOTE
Components of ECI, ETACS, ECS, etc. with ECU do not include 3 and 4 above. For this information, refer
to a manual which includes details of these components.

GENERAL - How to Diagnose 21
INSPECTION
1. Visual and aural checks
Check relay operation, blower motor rotation, light illumina-
tion, etc. visually or aurally. The flow of current is invisible but
can be checked by the operation of the parts.
2. Simple checks
For example, if a headlight does not come on and a faulty fuse
or poor grounding is suspected, replace the fuse with a new
one or ground the light to the body by a jumper wire to deter-
mine which part is responsible for the problem.

In inspection, make use of the following instruments.
1. Test lights
A test light consists of a 12V bulb and lead wires. It is used
to check voltages or shortcircuits.

5. Ohmmeter
An ohmmeter is used to check continuity or measure resis-

changed. the zero point must be adjusted before measure-

CHECKING FUSES
A blade type fuse has test taps provided to allow checking of
the fuse itself without removing it from the fuse block. The
fuse is okay if the test light comes on when its one lead is
connected to the test taps (one at a time) and the other lead is
grounded. (Change the ignition switch position adequately so
that the fuse circuit becomes live.)
16BO235
State of fuse blown due to overcurrent CAUTIONS IN EVENT OF BLOWN FUSE
When a fuse is blown, there are two probable causes as follows
: One is that it is blown due to flow of current exceeding its rating.
The other is that it is blown due to repeated on/off current flowing
through it. Which of the two causes is responsible can be easily
determined by visual check as described below.
(1) Fuse blown due to current exceeding rating
The illustration shows the state of a fuse blown due to this
cause. In this case, do not replace the fuse with a new one
1660237
hastily since a current heavy enough to blow the fuse has
flowed through it. First, check the circuit for shorting and
check for abnormal electric parts. Only after the correction of
such shorting or parts, fuse of the same capacity should be
used as a replacement. Never use a fuse of lager capacity than
the one that has blown. If such a fuse is used, electric parts or
wirings could be damaged before the fuse blows in the event
an overcurrent occurs again.
(2) Fuse blown due to repeated current on/off
The illustration shows the state of a fuse blown due to re
peated current on/off. Normally, this type of problem occurs
after fairly long period of use and hence is less frequent than
the above type. In this case, you may simply replace with a
new fuse of the same capacity.

GENERAL - How to Diagnose 25
CHECKING CABLES AND WIRES
1. Check connections for looseness, rust and stains.
2. Check terminals and wires for corrosion by battery electrolyte,
etc.
3. Check terminals and wires for open circuit or impending open
circuit.
4. Check wire insulation and coating for damage, cracks and de-
grading.
5. Check conductive parts of terminals for contact with other
metallic parts (vehicle body and other parts).
6. Check grounding parts to verify that there is complete conti-
nuity between attaching bolt(s) and vehicle body.
7. Check for incorrect wiring.
8. Check that wirings are so clamped as to prevent contact with
sharp corners of the vehicle body, etc. or hot parts (exhaust
manifold, pipe, etc.).
9. Check that wirings are clamped firmly to secure enough clear-
ance from the fan pulley, fan belt and other rotating or moving
parts.
10. Check that the wirings between the fixed parts such as the
vehicle body and the vibrating parts such as the engine are
made with adequate allowance for vibrations.
HANDLING ON-VEHICLE BATTERY
When checking or servicing does not require power from the on-
vehicle battery, be sure to disconnect the cable from the battery
(-) terminal. This is to prevent problems that could be caused by
shorting of the circuit. Disconnect the (-1 terminal first and recon-
nect it last.
Caution
1. Before connecting or disconnecting the negative cable,
be sure to turn off the ignition switch and the lighting
switch.
(If this is not done, there is the possibility of semicon-
ductor parts being damaged.)
2. For MFI-equipped models, after completion of the work
steps [when the battery's negative (-) terminal is
connected], warm up the engine and allow it to idle for
approximately five minutes under the conditions des-
cribed below, in order to stabilize engine control
conditions, and then check to be sure that the idling is
satisfactory.
