W/Harness Inspection





Terminal and Connector Inspection

1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals.
Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3. Has a problem been found ?
YES
1) Repair as necessary and go to "Verification Vehicle Repair" procedure
NO
1) Go to "W/Harness Inspection" procedure.

Power Supply Circuit Inspection

Check for open or short in power harness
1. IG KEY OFF
2. Disconnect SMARTRA connector.
3. Connect PCM connector
4. IG KEY ON.
5. Measure voltage between harness side power terminal of SMARTRA and chassis ground.
