Indication of Connectors and How to Read Them

INDICATION OF CONNECTORS AND HOW TO READ THEM
The connectors are indicated as shown below in System Circuit Diagram. For the shape and pin arrangement of each connector used, refer to Connector Views. Described below are how they are indicated and how to read them.

1.
- The male terminal and female terminal are identified by a double enclosure and a single one respectively.
- The intermediate connector which connects harnesses is shown by both shapes of the male terminal and the female terminal but the connector to be connected directly to the equipment is shown by the shape of the connector on the harness side.





- The connector is illustrated as viewed from the terminal side as shown at the right.

2.
- There are three types of connectors with respect to the way it is connected and each type is illustrated as shown below.





- To be inserted directly into equipment





- To be connected with harness connector of equipment





- To connect between harnesses (intermediate connector)

3.
- Wiring of this vehicle employs joint connectors (J/C) which divide one wire into several different wires or combine several different wires into one wire.





- The joint connector is illustrated above.

How to Read Connector Codes and Pin Nos. (How to Use Manual):
It is possible to retrieve the location and shape of each connector from the connector code indicated in System Circuit Diagram and the position of each pin from the connector pin No.

* To retrieve location of connector:
Open Connector Layout Diagram and look for the same code as the connector code in question. The place where the code is found is the location of that connector.





* To retrieve shape or pin No.
Open List of Connectors as shown at the right in the figure above and look for the desired connector code under which the shape of that connector is shown. This method is convenient when locating the connector in question among similar connectors. Also, by using this page, it is possible to find the position of each pin from the connector pin No. provided.
It is helpful when retrieving pin positions in the connector for checking continuity between pins.
