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 ?






Signal Circuit Inspection

Check for open in harness
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Disconnect rear height motor.
3. Measure resistance between terminal "C8" of IMS and terminal "4" of rear height sensor.
4. Measure resistance between terminal "C9" of IMS and terminal "1" of rear height sensor.

Specification : Approx. 0 Ohms





5. Is the measured resistance within specifications ?





Check for short in harness
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Disconnect rear height motor.
